In which one of the following situations is zero net work done?

a) a bunch of bananas are placed on a spring scale in the supermarket.

b) a horse pulls a wagon at a constant velocity

c) a sky diver falls from an airplane before opening her parachute

d) a snowball rolls down a hill e a skateboarder steps on a skateboard and begins to roll

b) a horse pulls a wagon at a constant velocity

Explanation:

As we know that, work done is the dot product of force vector and displacement vector.

W = F. d

W=work

F=Force

d=Displacement

We also know that

F = m a

m = mass, a = acceleration

When velocity is constant then rate of change in the velocity will be zero, then we can say that acceleration will be zero.

When a = 0 Then F = 0

W = F. d (F=0)

W = 0

Therefore option b i correct because horse is going with constant velocity.
