Question
Choose the false statement regarding work done by a force on an object.
The amount of work doesn't depend on the direction of the force relative to the motion.
The amount of work will be greater if the change in position due to the force is greater (for the same magnitude of force).
The amount of work will be greater if the amount of force is greater (for the same change in position due to the force).
The amount of work done by a force will equal the change in kinetic energy of the object, if the force is the only force.

In path 1, you take an elevator directly from location A straight up to location E. In path 2, you walk from A to B, climb a rope from B to C, then walk from C to E. In path 3, you walk from location A to D, then climb a ramp up to location E. The following questions focus on the work done on a 51 kg person by the Earth while following each of these paths.
