EK Physics #352.
EK says the following statement is not always true:
"No work is done on an object if that object remains stationary." (They also say that this answer choice tempts a lot of students.)
I distinctly remember my physics book mentioning the classic example of someone pushing against a wall for a hour, and no work is done b/c there is no displacement..... Is this wrong?
