Question

5. There was less work done. Which of the statements describes how this is possible? (2 points) There was less force applied or there was less movement. There was more force applied and the movement did not change. There was more force applied and there was more movement. There was more force applied or there was more movement.

Answer 1

There was less work done when there was less force applied or there was less movement. I just answered this on my test and got it right. 

Answer 2

There was less force applied or there was less movement.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know by the definition of work done

W = F.d

so it is product of force and displacement along same directions

So here if work done is smaller then it shows that the product of force and displacement must be small

So here we can say

1). Either the applied force will be small

2). Displacement of the object is small

So here correct answer would be

There was less force applied or there was less movement.
