Who is doing work, and who only looks as though they are?

ObjectiveTo separate the everyday meaning of work from the scientific meaning.
MethodLook at Figure 6.12 in the Note tab. For each of the four people, ask two questions in this order: was a force applied to an object, and did that object move in the direction of the force? Only if both answers are yes has work been done. Then add five people from your own school and do the same.
