| Student | Force(N) | Distance(m) |
|-------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|
| Chet | 50 | 1.0 |
|-------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|
| Mika | 40 | 2.0 |
|-------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|
| Sara | 30 | 1.5 |
|-------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|
| Bill | 60 | 0.5 |
|__________|______________|_____________ |

Answer:The correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done is defined product of force applied on an object and the displacement of an object on applying of force.It is measured in Joules.


W=Force* Displacement

1. Chet

Work done =
50 N* 1.0 m= 50.0 Joules

2. Mika

Work done =
40 N* 2.0 m= 80.0 Joules

3. Sara

Work done =
30 N* 1.5 m= 45.0 Joules

4.Bill

Work done =
60 N* 0.5 m= 30.0 Joules

The greatest work was done by Mika and least work was done by BIll. The order from the greatest amount of work done to the least.

Mika>Chet>Sara>Bill.

Hence ,the correct answer is option B.
