Question 8 • 2001310 Earth Science Sem 1 - Reeves

Tina and her puppy are tugging on a rope, each pulling on opposite ends.When is Tina doing work?

Answer
A
the entire time she plays with the puppy
B
whenever she pulls the puppy toward her
C
when she holds the rope steady as the puppy pulls it
D
when she lets go of the rope and the puppy pulls it away

Explanation

Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of that force. When Tina pulls the puppy toward her, she applies a force that moves the puppy toward her, so she does work. Holding the rope steady causes no movement, and once she lets go, she is no longer applying a force.
