Work is simply the force applied over a distance.

Work = Force × Displacement (m) ...In some cases where an angle is involved cosФ (theta) is used
Work = F × D(m) × Cos(an angle measure)

So for lifting the object cos(90°) would be used...while pushing cos(0°)
When you work out the formula for each it should be clear what the correct answer is.

Work = (force) x (distance)

You could look at the two cases, and see right away that
the first one has more force acting through more distance,
so it must be more work. But since I just gave you the formula
for Work, let's calculate the amount of it for both cases:

First case: Work = (115 N) x (15 m) = 1,725 joules

Second case: Work = (20 N) x (10 m) = 200 joules

The first case involves 8.625 times as much work as the second case.

Answer:

A) T.

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the orbital period (T) of a satellite is related with the radius (R) and the mass of the object (M) it orbits:

$T=\frac{2\pi R^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}$

So the orbital period is independent of the mass of the satellite, that means no matter the mass every satellite at a radius R around the earth have an orbital period A.

In a vertical relationship between an employee and supervisor, who must do most of the adjusting?

Wouldn't it be the employee? Because the employee has to adjust to the needs of his/her supervisor. If the supervisor wants 100 boxes the employee has to make those 100 boxes and so on and so forth.
