2. Which would take more work: lifting a 4 N box 0.5 m or a 1 N box 4 m? Explain your answer.

Answer;

Lifting a 1 N box for 4 m, will take more work

Explanation;

Work is done when a an object with a certain weight is moved at a given distance;

It is the product of force and distance and therefore varies directly to both distance and force.

Work = Force * distance;

For a 4 N box 0.5 m;

Work = 4 * 0.5

= 2 Joules

For a 1 N box 4 m

Work = 1 * 4

= 4 Joules

Therefore, Lifting a 1 N box for 4 m, will take more work
