Rank the following scenarios based on the amount of work performed from largest to smallest.

1. A force of 100 N is applied to an object as it is moved 4.0 m.

2. A force of 150 N is applied to an object as it is moved 2.0 m.

3. A force of 200 N is applied to an object as it is moved 3.5 m.

4. A force of 700 N is applied to an object without moving it ...

Largest to smallest: 3, 1, 2, 4

Explanation:

Work is W = Force times Distance.

Whenever you are solving a physics problem, make sure to:

1. Read the problem carefully

2. Circle keywords and see what you really have to solve for

3. What variables or components do they give

4. Is there anything missing?

5. Solve

6. Recheck

I'll solve two of them.

For #3, 200 N times 3.5 = 700

While #4 is 700 N times 0 = 0

Use the work formula. Good luck!
