It takes Appa a force of 200N to carry the kids 1,000 km. How much work has he done? (a)  

• 1200 Joules of work
• 500 Joules of work
• No work has been done
• 200,000 Joules of work

Toph pushes against the turret with 500 Newtons of Force. It stays in place.

1. 1. How much work has been done?

2. (a)  

2. How do you know? (b)  

• 1000 Joules of work

• 500 Joules of work

• 0 Joules of work
• Excessive force leads to work being done
• No movement, no work
• Force was applied and an object moved
