Energy to lift something =
(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).
BUT ...
This simple formula only works if you use the right units.
Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters
For this question . . .
Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms
Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²
Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters
So we have ...
Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)
= 2,696,925 joules .
That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.
The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
At speeds over 30 mph, you should maintain a following distance of at least <u>three full seconds</u> behind the vehicle ahead of you.
As a general rule and common sense at a speed of 30 mph you can leave three full seconds so that you can achieve a prudent distance between the car you are driving and the car in front in order to be able to perform some kind of maneuver if an accident or unforeseen event occurs.
To count the full three seconds you can use the technique of counting the Mississippis as follows: Mississippi one, Mississippi two, Mississippi three.

Answer:
the graph shows the cost of natural hazards in the us in 2011 (in billions of dollars)
Explanation:
it shows that the cost of a tornado happeniy is 30 billion dollars
and the cost of an earthquake is way lower than the one the tornado which is 0 dollar
For the answer to the question above, on Earth, a one-pound object has a mass of about 0.453592 kilograms.
<span>Therefore the man's mass is 155 * 0.453592 = 70.30676 kilograms. </span>
<span>The part about the Moon's gravity is irrelevant. While the weight of a person or object would be different on the Moon, the mass would be the same.</span>
