Question:

A bulldozer pushes a large rock?

A bulldozer pushes a large rock, and the two move forward together. The bulldozer does 1500 J of work on the rock. How much work does the rock do on the bulldozer? Clearly explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Not enough details to say the exact amount of work done but here's the reasoning behind it. Like Igor said, since the bulldozer is actually pushing the rock he is doing more work/joules than what the weight of the rock does on the bulldozer. It would be impossible if the amount of work was lesser you see. Hope my explanation was clear enough if you want more details expand on your question please .
It does less work on the truck then the truck does on it because it is moving forward I'd you gave more information I might be more precise. Of this helped you plz give 10 pts
