You and your friend mow a half acre lawn. You get it done in half the time of your friend. Who did more work?
a
Your friend, because they did it slower
b
You, because you did it faster
c
You both did the same amount of work, because time is not relevant to the work completed
d
None of the above
d) None of the above.
The amount of work done is determined by the area of the lawn that is mowed, which is half an acre in this case. The time taken to complete the task does not determine the amount of work done. Therefore, both you and your friend did the same amount of work, regardless of the time taken.
