does moving an object a greater amount of distance always require a greater amount of work? Why or why not?

Yes, moving an object a greater amount of distance always requires a greater amount of work.

Explanation:

Take a look at the formula written below,

W = F x D,

Where W = work, F = Force, D = Distance

You can see the Force and Distance have a multiplication sign between them, indicating that Work is directly proportional to both Force and Distance, or in other words -

Work α Distance

If that is so, an increase in distance should always mean an increase in work, ( vice versa ) and a decrease in distance should always mean a decrease in work ( vice versa ).

Answer : The correct option is, It would increases.

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

From this we conclude that, the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume that means, as the pressure increases the volume will be decreases and pressure decreases the volume increases.

As per question, when the gas is moved from a large container to a small container then the pressure of the gas increases.

Hence, the correct option is, It would increases.
