Answer

e. WB=2WA\text{e. } W_B = 2W_A

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Define the formula for work done by a constant force.

    The work done (WW) by a constant force (FF) acting over a distance (dd) in the direction of the force is given by:

    W=FdW = Fd
  2. Calculate the work done on cart A (WAW_A).

    For cart A:

    • Applied force FA=FF_A = F
    • Distance traveled dA=dd_A = d So, the work done on cart A is:
    WA=FAdA=FdW_A = F_A d_A = Fd
  3. Calculate the work done on cart B (WBW_B).

    For cart B:

    • Applied force FB=2FF_B = 2F
    • Distance traveled dB=dd_B = d So, the work done on cart B is:
    WB=FBdB=(2F)d=2FdW_B = F_B d_B = (2F)d = 2Fd
  4. Compare the work done on cart A and cart B.

    We have WA=FdW_A = Fd and WB=2FdW_B = 2Fd.
    Substitute WAW_A into the expression for WBW_B:

    WB=2(Fd)W_B = 2(Fd) WB=2WAW_B = 2W_A

    This relationship matches option e.

    The final answer is e. WB=2WA\text{e. } W_B = 2W_A.
