Question

The work done on an object depend on _____.

• A. strength of force only
• B. net distance
• C. both strength of force and net distance
• D. neither strength of force nor net distance

Answer 1

The correct option is C both strength of force and net distance

Work done on an object depends on:

(i) Strength of the force applied: Consider a lighter and a heavier bag, it is harder to lift the heavier bag. Hence, work done depends on the strength of the force.

(ii) Net Distance: Consider a bag, in first case you lifted it to a larger height. It requires more effort to lift the bag to larger distance. Hence, work done also depends on the net distance.
