Abatter hits two baseballs with the same force. one hits the ground near third base. the other is a home run out the park. where was there more work done?

The baseball that is a home run

Explanation:

Work done is calculated using the formula:

W = F x d  (Where F is force, and d is distance)

Hence, the greater the force, and the greater the distance, the more work is done.

The question states that the batter hit with the same amount of force, so F will not change. The only difference between the two balls is the distance moved. In the formula, it can be seen that if the distance increases (while F stays the same) the work done will also increase. This can lead to the conclusion that the ball that traveled further, did more work, and hence the ball that was a home run did more work than the other baseball.

that would be b i just took the test : )
