Okay I need help with this problem:

1. You carry two heavy suitcases up a flight of stairs. Will you do more work on the bags if you carry them up one at a time? Explain why or why not.

If you're wondering. We're currently working on the unit of "Work, Power, and Machines"

No, the 2 bags gained the same potential energy in either case. The work done on the bags is translated 100% into their new potential energy.
