Two robots are used to push carts across a warehouse floor. A shorter robot pushes the carts horizontally, and a taller one pushes at an angle (partially down and partially forward). Which of the following is true if they both push with the same force (but at different angles)? Your answer: The shorter robot will do more work and increase the speed most when traveling 10 meters. The taller robot will do more work and increase the speed most when traveling 10 meters. The two robots will cause the same change in speed when traveling 10 meters.
