A 1000-kg car and a 2000-kg car are hoisted the same distance. Raising the more massive car requires-

If you push an object a given distance, while applying twice the force, you do-

If you push an object twice as far while applying the same force, you do-

What task requires the most work; lifting a 50-kg sack 2 meters or lifting a 25-kg sack 4 meters?

A TV set is pushed a distance of 2 m with a force of 20 N. How much work is done on the set?

It takes 40 J to push a large box 4 m across a floor. Assuming the push is in the same direction as the move, what is the magnitude of the force on the box?

If you find that twice as much work is needed to perform a task but it takes twice as much time, the amount of power required is-

The power required to exert 1 N force, over a distance of 1 m in 1 second is
