A force N acts on a particle as it moves from (0,0) to (1,1) m. Which of the following paths requires the least amount of work done by the force?
A straight line from (0,0) to (1,1)
A parabolic path y=x^2 from (0,0) to (1,1)
A path along the x-axis from (0,0) to (1,0) followed by a path along the y-axis from (1,0) to (1,1)
All paths require the same amount of work.
