B. Andy sits in his chair, doing nothing. C. Andy pushes against a desk, and it doesn't move. D. Andy holds a book.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Andy pushes a desk across the floor.

Explanation:

An example of work in the classroom would be if Andy pushes a desk across the floor.

Work is done by transferring energy to an object (from Andy to the desk) by applying a force (the push), which makes the object move in the direction of the force.

If Andy sits in his chair, or holds his book, he is not applying a force that moves any object. Also, if Andy pushes his desk, but it doesn't move, work is not being done (since the object must move for work to be done).
