Question

Which force and displacement vector combo would provide the greatest amount of work done?

a. 10N force

b. 6N force

c. they all provide the same work

d. 8N force

The image contains three separate diagrams representing forces acting on an object along with displacement vectors:

1. **Diagram 1:**
   - A red vector represents a force of 10 Newtons (N) pointing vertically upwards.
   - A blue vector representing displacement, labeled as \( \Delta \vec{r} \), points horizontally to the right.

2. **Diagram 2:**
   - A red vector indicates a force of 8 N acting at an angle of 60 degrees above the horizontal.
   - A blue vector, \( \Delta \vec{r} \), is shown pointing horizontally to the right.

3. **Diagram 3:**
   - Both the force and displacement are shown as horizontal vectors pointing to the right.
   - The red vector (force) is 6 N and the blue vector (displacement) is labeled \( \Delta \vec{r} \).

These diagrams illustrate different scenarios of forces acting with or at angles to the displacement vectors. The concepts demonstrated could include work done by a force, vector decomposition, and angles between force and displacement in physics.
