Answer 1

1)C,the object will move in the opposite direction of the force

2)D,a person lifting books from the floor to the table

Answer 2

a. The object will move in the direction of the force.

d. A person lifting books from the floor to a table

Step-by-step explanation:

When we push a cart it moves in the direction of the push. Objects always move in the direction of the force applied.

So the answer is

a. The object will move in the direction of the force.

Work
`W = F * d`

In the first three options the displacement is zero. So work is also zero

But when the books are lifted by a person from floor to table, a work is done against gravity.

So the answer is

d. A person lifting books from the floor to a table
