Bob and Alice ran up a hill. Bob is twice as massive as Alice; yet Alice ascends the same distance in half the time. Who did the most work?

Bob


Bob must apply twice the force to lift his twice-as-massive body up the same hill

300

A. 1500 N

B. 15 N

C. 1.5 N

D. 150 N

B. 15 N

Is work being done? 

No

Bob and Alice ran up a hill. Bob is twice as massive as Alice; yet Alice ascends the same distance in half the time. Who has the most power?

they have the same amount of power


Alice does one-half the work yet does it one-half the time. The reduction in work done is compensated for by the reduction in time.
