Question

question 10 1 pts the work you do when pushing a shopping cart a given distance while applying twice as much force is half as much. twice as much. four times as much. the same amount.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall work - formula

The formula for work is $W = F\times d$, where $W$ is work, $F$ is force and $d$ is distance.

Step2: Consider the change in force

Let the initial force be $F_1$ and the distance be $d$. So the initial work $W_1=F_1\times d$. Now the new force $F_2 = 2F_1$ and the distance remains $d$. Then the new work $W_2=F_2\times d=(2F_1)\times d = 2(F_1\times d)$. Since $W_1=F_1\times d$, we have $W_2 = 2W_1$.

Answer:

twice as much.
