Melissa uses bags of mulch that way 40 pounds each. She needs to carry 10 bags to her truck. She usually carries one bag at a time. Would she do less work if she carried two bags at a time?

Respuesta :

No. She would be doing the same amount of work that way. Work is defined to be equal to the force multiplied by the distance. Carrying two bags at a time would cause her to exert twice the effort, so the total amount of work done in the end would still be the same.
