10. James throws an apple in the air with a force of 10 N, and the apple travels for 20 m before it hits the ground.
Jack lifts a 50 kg bag of peas 2 m above the ground. Edna pushes a wheelbarrow with a force of 25 N, 2 m
along the ground. Who did the least work?
(tricky: think over what distance James is actually pushing the apple)
