The answer is A because it was 2 minutes and she weighs 100 lbs.... so 2(100)=200.... 200 lbs of work

Answer:

B. Rebecca has not done work because she has not moved a distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

In physics, work represents the amount of energy necessary for a force to move a body a certain distance.


W=F.d, where F is the force, d the distance and W the work of the force F.

Since Rebecca jogs in place, the distance is zero, an so does the work.
