Question

Melissa uses bags of mulch that weigh 40 pounds each. She needs to carry 10 bags to her truck. She usually carries one bag at a time. Would she do less work if she carried 2 bags at a time?

Answer 1

No, Melissa would not do less work if she carried 2 bags at a time

Step-by-step explanation:

No, Melissa would not do less work if she carried 2 bags at a time. The amount of work done is determined by the force exerted and the distance over which the force is applied. Carrying one bag at a time or carrying two bags at a time would require the same total distance to be covered. However, carrying two bags at a time would require a greater force than carrying one bag, resulting in the same amount of work being done.

Answer 2

she would walk to her truck 5 times
