Question

Imagine two cases: Block N is pushed by a hand, which exerts a constant force F_o. AND moves a distance d_ 0. In case 1, it takes a time T to move this distance. In a case 2, it takes time 2T to move this distance. The work done by the hand on N in case 1 is ____________ the work done by the hand in case 2.

a. greater than
b. less than
c, equal to

Answer 1

C: Equal to

Step-by-step explanation:

In calculating workdone, it is pertinent to know that it doesn't depend on time. The only relationship between work and time is when we want to calcite power where workdone/time taken = power.

Now, even if it took 2T time to love the same distance, it just means lesser force was used but still the workdone doesn't change.

Thus, the workdone in the first case will be equal to the workdone in the second case.
