Do Work

This past week, we've been learning about work in physics. Work is defined as the product of the force of an object and the distance through which the object is moved. The formula for work is work = force x distance. Work is measured in joules. So over the weekend, I tried looking for something related to the physics we've been learning about recently, but the only thing I can think of is a particular lack of physics that occurred. While I was at a birthday party, my friend Andy and I were leaving and he couldn't find his slippers. We think Gavin may have accidentally grabbed them by mistake, but anyway, I had to piggy back Andy to the car since it was raining all night and the ground was wet. After carrying him all the way down the street and around the corner to the car, I was super tired and out of breath but after I thought about, I sadly realized that I didn't do any work. Because the force used to lift Andy was perpendicular to the direction of the motion of me walking to the car, this was not considered work. The picture included is not a picture from this weekend but its a picture similar to the situation.
