  1. The object is not moved against gravity, so zero work was done on gravity.

    Work= force*distance*cosAngle where Angle is the angle between force and distance. In this case, the force of gravity and displacement is at 90 degrees. The cosine90 =0

  4. Work=Force*Distance
    Work=(3N)*(2m)
    Work= 6 Joules
