Question

Would you do more work moving 100 boxes weighing 12N for 1m or moving a 1000N box, 30cm? Support your answer.

Answer 1

The second box

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a particular distance.

Work done = Force x distance

For the first box:

Weight = 12N

Distance = 1m

Work done = 12 x 1 = 12J

For the second box;

Weight = 1000N

Distance = 30cm = 0.3m

Work done = 1000 x 0.3 = 300J

The second box has a higher work done.
