(a) For the work-energy theorem, the work done to lift the can of paint is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by it, therefore it is equal to

where m=3.4 kg is the mass of the can, g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and
is the variation of height. Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

(b) In this case, the work done is zero. In fact, we know from its definition that the work done on an object is equal to the product between the force applied F and the displacement:

However, in this case there is no displacement, so d=0 and W=0, therefore the work done to hold the can stationary is zero.
(c) In this case, the work done is negative, because the work to lower the can back to the ground is done by the force of gravity, which pushes downward. Its value is given by the same formula used in part (a):

C. Convection is the transfer of energy by the motion of a fluid. Fluids are by definition substances in which particles are able to flow. Hence the answer is c

Answer:
B. normal force
Explanation:
Because there is no frictional or resistance force. However gravitational force is applied downroad from the center of the cup thus the contact force that is perpendicular to the surface that an object contacts which is the normal force exerted upward from the table that prevents an object from falling.
