Question

A B C D Plz help me.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is;

${}$               Man doing most work   ${}$    Box gaining the most energy

D   ${}$                 Y                                          Q

Explanation:

The given parameters of the question are;

The distance the box P is pushed by the Man X = 0

The force the Man X applies to the box P = x N

The distance the box Q is lifted by the Man Y = h > 0 meters

The minimum force the Man Y applies to the box Q = W, the weight of the box

Work done = Force × Distance

Energy gained = Potential energy + Kinetic Energy = (Mass × Gravity × Height = Weight × Height  = W × h) + 1/2 × Mass × Velocity²

The final velocity of either box = 0 m/s (The boxes are at rest on the ground or the shelf)

Therefore, Kinetic energy = 0 J

The work done by Man X = 0 × x = 0 J

The energy gained by the box P = W × 0 = 0 J

The work done by Man Y = W × h = W·h J

The energy gained by the box P = W × h = W·h J

We have, the work done by the man Y = W·h J is more than the work done by the man X = 0 J

The energy gained by the box P = W·h J is more than the energy gained by the box Q = 0 J

Therefore, the correct option is D, Man doing the most work is Y, box gaining the most energy is Q.
