Answer:

moving the boxes and the furniture up to the fifth floor.

Explanation:

The work done when moving an object up or down is equal to its change of gravitational potential energy:

W=mg \Delta h

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h is the change in height of the object

We have two opposite situations:

1) when an object is moved upward, \Delta h is positive, so the work done W is positive as well: this means that we need to do work in order to move the object, because we have to "win" the effect of gravity, which pulls the object downward

2) when an object is moved downward, \Delta h is negative, so the work done W is negative as well: this means that we do not need to do work on the object, because it is already done by gravity, which pulls the object downward.

Therefore, more work is done when we are moving the boxes and the furniture up to the fifth floor.

g We saw in class that in a pendulum the string does no work. We also saw that the normal force does no work on an object slidin
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

From question (a) and (b) the pendulum motion is perpendicular to the force so the normal force will do no work and the tension in the string of the pendulum will not work

       i.e Normal \ Force(N)  = mg cos \theta

And \theta = 90 so

           N = 0

c

An example will be a where a stone is attached to the end of a string and is made to move in a circular motion while keeping the other end of the string in a fixed position        

d

A dog walking along a surface which has friction, here the frictional force would acting in the direction of the motion and this would do positive work
