The same force is applied to two skateboards. One rolls across the room and the other moves a few feet and comes to a stop. Where was there more work done?

AThe skateboard that traveled the shorter distance shows more work because there was more resistance.
BThe skateboard that traveled the longer distance shows more work because it was lighter.
CThe skateboard that traveled further shows more work because the distance was greater.
DThe skateboard that traveled the shorter distance shows more work because the force was greater.

The question and all of the choices are rather messy and misleading.

Here's a simple statement that you can use to make the best match:

If the two forces are equal, then more work is done by the force that
continues to be applied through the greater distance.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

THIS IS TRUE BECAUSE I TOOK THE TEST, and because THE EQUATION FOR WORK IS WORK = FORCE DISTANCE AND EVEN THO THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME FORCE THE OTHER ONE HAS MORE DISTANCE, ITS LIKE SAYING WHICH EQUAION HAS A BIGGER ANSWER 11 OR 1*2 WELL ITS OBVIOUSLY THE SECOUND EQUATION SO THE ANSWER IS C LIKE I SAID BEFORE

BTW  AL2006 IS WRONG AND I DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT HE EVEN THO HE IS "TRUSTED"
