Answer:

Because the force one needs to apply is reduced.

Explanation:

  • Work can be expressed in terms of force and distance as follows,

                        Work = Force × distance

  • To be more precise, the selection of these two parameters should be in a manner that the distance is what the line of action of the force traces.
  • It is obvious that for a given amount of work when one parameter is changed the other changes to counteract the change of the first one.
  • Imagine the situation shown in the attached figure. The amount of work that needs to be done during the lifting of the mass to a height of \small h vertically is E = mg\times h = mgh.
  • On the slope, however, one needs to push the object an L distance up to get the object to that h height ultimately.
  • The work he does on the slope is mgh = F\times L and sinceL > h , F < mg.
  • The force that needs to be applied is less than that applied in the vertical lift. Hence it feels easier.             #SPJ4

If a girl is standing still and holding a box, is she doing any work? Why or why not?
sukhopar [10]
I beleive she isnt doing any work due to holding the box motionless, you must be exerting a force in the direction of the box motion. If she is just standing there holding the box their isn't no work becuase no distance has been covered. work = force = distance.
