Car Boxcar
In physics, how do you know work is being done?

In the following situations, how do you determine whether work is being done or not?
1. a crane lifting a car
2. a tug of war that is evenly matched
3. a train engine pulling a loaded boxcar initially at rest

1. a crane lifting a car
When the car is raised, its total mechanic energy is being increased by the amount of potential energy being stored
U= mgh
h, the the height raised

2. a tug of war that is evenly matched
Their is work done, by the winning team, but the opposite team compensates that work by pulling. Net work is zero though.

3. a train engine pulling a loaded boxcar initially at rest
Obviously, the train is storing Kinetic energy when in motion due to the increase in velocity
K=(1/2)mv^2
