What can you conclude about two boys having the same weight and climbing the same height of stairs at different times?

• They will do different work but use the same power.

• They will do the same work and use different power.

• They will do the same work and use the same power.

• They will do the same work and have no power.

Which of the following factors would affect the amount of work done?

I. amount of force

II. shape of the object

III. speed of the object

IV. displacement in the direction of the net force

• I and II

• I and IV

• II and III

• III and IV

Is there a work done when the force applied is perpendicular to the displacement of the object?

• There is work done.

• There is no work done.

Is there a work done when the force applied is directed opposite to the displacement of the object?

• There is work done.

• There is no work done.

Is there a work done by placing a book on your head and walking for a displacement of 3m to the right?

• None, because 3m is not enough for a displacement.

• Yes, because you've exert enough force to move the object to a distance.

• None, because the force applied is perpendicular to the displacement of the book.

• Yes, because there is a force applied perpendicular to the displacement of the book.
