Question 1 • WA-Physical Science B

Ivan does work when he .

Answer
A
lifts the basket
B
carries the basket
C
lifts the basket and when he carries the basket

Explanation

In physics, work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of that force. When Ivan lifts the basket, he applies an upward force and the basket moves upward, so he does work. While carrying it horizontally at a steady height, his upward supporting force is perpendicular to its motion, so that force does no work on the basket. The correct choice is “lifts the basket.”
