Question

You drag your 30 kg suitcase 1200 m thru the Chicago airport at essentially constant velocity 2.0 m/s, by pulling its handle 90 N mostly upward, but 20° Westward. How much (physical) Work did you do to the suitcase?

Here is the transcription for the educational website:

---

### Question Options:

- ○ 36 940 Joule
- ○ some negative amount (West is negative)
- ○ 36 000 Joule
- ○ 60 Joule
- ○ 101 490 Joule
- ○ 108 000 Joule
- ○ 72 000 Joule
- ○ impossible to pull 30 kg that far with only 90 N
- ○ zero (0) since constant velocity

---

Each option represents a possible answer to a question related to energy or force applied in a physical context. This exercise likely involves calculating work done, considering directionality (indicated by "West is negative"), and understanding concepts like constant velocity or feasibility of the given physical constraints.
