Choose the situation below in which the force applied is the greatest.
A) Steve put in 50 J of work moving a box 50 meters.
B) Doing 400 J of work, Penny pushed her cat 80 meters.
C) Samantha did 365 J of work dragging a wagon across 73 meters of lawn.
Eliminate
D) Clark pushed a crate from the chair, 16 meters across the room, doing 144 J of work.

D

Explanation:

We know the formula for Work to be:

W = f * d

Where W is work done

f is force

d is the distance

A)

Work = 50

Distance = 50

So, Force is:

Force = 50/50 = 1

B)

Work = 400

Distance = 80

Force = 400/80 = 5

C)

Work = 365

Distance = 73

Force = 365/73 = 5

D)

Work = 144

Distance = 16

Force = 144/16 = 9

Hence, D is the situation in which the force applied is the greatest.

the answer is b, have negligible mass

the right answer is 0.3 meters per second
