Box B is pulled 3 meters when a 2-newton force is applied to it. How does the work done on the two boxes compare?
A. More work was done on box A.
B. More work was done on box B.
C. The same amount of work was done on each box.

Answer 1

C. The same amount of work is done on each box.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for work (w) done is

w = f×d

Box A:

w = 3 × 2

w = 6 J

=====

Box B:

w = 2 × 3

w = 6 J

The same amount of work is done on each box
