Question

Bill pushes on a wall for 30 min with a force of 75 newtons while Ted pushes on the same wall 15 min with a force of 150 newtons. Who did the most work? Bill Ted neither did any work

Answer 1

Neither Bill nor Ted did any work.**Explanation:**In physics, work is defined as the force applied to an object multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. Since the wall doesn't move, the distance is zero. Therefore, even though both Bill and Ted exerted force, no work was done. The formula for work is:Work = Force x DistanceIf Distance = 0, then Work = 0.
