Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. Ari pulls a wagon 4 m along level ground with 50 N at 60° above the ground. To the nearest tenth, how much work does the pull do?

  2. Esme pulls a wagon 6 m along level ground with 25 N at 30° above the ground. To the nearest tenth, how much work does the pull do?

  3. A pull acts at 60° above level ground on a sliding wagon. Which part of the pull does work, Jun?

    • F cos 60°, along the ground
    • F sin 60°, the upward part
    • No part of it
    • The whole pull
  4. A force acts at 90° to an object's motion. How much work does it do, Kira?

    • None
    • All of F × d
    • Negative F × d
    • Half of F × d
  5. A 30 N pull moves a cart 2 m, first straight along the motion, then at 60°. How much work is done each time, Luz?

    • 60 J, then 30 J
    • 60 J, then 52 J
    • 60 J both times
    • 30 J, then 60 J
  6. In the force-displacement graph, how much work does the push do, Milo?

    • 80 J
    • 24 J
    • 5 J
    • 40 J
  7. In the force-displacement graph, how much work is done squeezing the spring, Noah?

    • 500 J
    • 10 J
    • 20 J
    • 100 J
  8. A drone lifts a 2 kg box 1.5 m straight up at a steady speed. With g = 9.8 m/s², how much work does the drone's pull do, Ren?

    • 0 J, since the speed is steady
    • 3 J
    • 19.6 J
    • 29.4 J
  9. During that same lift, how much work does gravity do on the box, Tala?

    • −29.4 J
    • +29.4 J
    • 0 J
    • −3 J
  10. The drone then lowers the same box 1.5 m at a steady speed. How much work does gravity do on it, Zee?

    • −29.4 J
    • +58.8 J
    • +29.4 J
    • 0 J
