If you sight Polaris at 20 degrees above your Northern Horizon then you know that your latitude is 20 degrees north of the equator.
Answer:
a) 1504.8 J
b) 991.76 J
c) 0J
d) 0J
Explanation:
(a) The work done by the force P on the box is given by the following formula:

P: applied force = 171N
x: distance in which the for P is applied = 8.80m
you replace the values of P and x and obtain:

(b) The work don by the friction force is:

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.250
M: mass of the box = 46.0kg
g: gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s^2

(c) The Normal force is

but this force does not do work on the box because the direction is perpendicular to the direction of the force P.

(d) the same as before:

Answer:
Explanation:
The general consensus is that it's more “natural” to define distance (meter) and time (second) and as base units, and derive velocity a the ratio between them. ...

Most of the problem depends on which object you observe. For the speed, take the absolute value of the derivative of the polynomial interpolation of position verses time.
