W = F.d
Diagram of an airport luggage system showing a suitcase on a horizontal conveyor (16 m), a sloping conveyor (8 m), a lift (10 m) and a frictionless slide (12 m) down to a cart.


My answer is (D) but the answer key is (C).

My reasoning is that the net work for (A), (B) and (C) are all zero since the object moves with constant speed so the resultant force is also zero. What is the mistake in my reasoning?

Thanks
 
Have you considered the possibility that the answer key might be in error?

Yes, but knowing me, it is better to ask for confirmation here.

Thank you very much kuruman
