Question 35 • FL-0708340-Spanish 1 LMS

Which statements describe a situation in which work is being done? Select three options.

Answer
A
A mover carries a box up a flight of stairs.
B
A mover holds a box with an upward force while moving it horizontally.
C
Wind blows against a steel table anchored to the ground.
D
Wind blows a pool chair across the yard.
E
A weightlifter lifts a barbell off the ground.
F
A weightlifter holds a barbell above the head.

Explanation

Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force, or has a component in that direction. The mover carries the box upward, the wind pushes the chair across the yard, and the weightlifter raises the barbell, so each involves force and displacement in the same direction. Holding an object still does no work on it, and an upward force on a box moving horizontally does no work in the direction of that force.
