In which situation is no work being done?


a person carrying a box from one place to another


a person picking up a box from the ground


a person pushing a box from one place to another


a person pulling a box from one place to another

Verified Answer :

I would say that work is being done in all the situations because technically in physics work is done whenever force is applied through a distance.

Abecause the box is being carried at a constant velocity, therefor there is no net force necessary to keep it it motion.  It changes the direction in motion, but it does no work on the box
