Question

you lift a chair that weighs 50 n to a height of 0.5cm and carry it 10 m across the room how much work do you do on the chair.
I just want to make sure is it 25J because you are only doing work if you are lifting it but walking with it isn't work because the direction of the objects motion isnt the same as the direction of force. Am I right?

Answer 1

I think you mean lift the chair .5m, in that case, work is 25J
