Answer: Tshering does more work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Work done is equal to force times displacement, we know that Tshering does more work.

We are told that Tashi and Tshering throw the ball with the same force. However, Tshering throws the ball a further distance than Tashi.

We can compare Tashi's work done to Tshering to see the difference more clearly.

Tashi < Tshering

(50N)(23m) < (50N)(32m)

1150J < 1600J

Again, Tshering does more work.
