<em>The y-intercept of a position-time graph of an object gives the average velocity of the object is False.</em>
<u>Answer:</u> <em>False.
</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The initial position of the object can be obtained by calculating the Y intercept of a position-time graph. In a position-time graph, the independent variable is time and dependent variable is position. Y axis is the position axis and x axis is the time axis.
The equation of the graph is given by 
. m is the slope of the graph and c is the y intercept. When a particle starts from the origin its y intercept is zero.
The nature of the graph gives us an idea about velocity. When the velocity is positive, the position- time graph has positive slope and when the velocity is positive the graph has negative slope.
Answer:
Work, W = 846.72 Joules
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the watermelon, m = 4.8 kg
It is dropped from rest from the roof of 18 m building. We need to find the work done by the gravity on the watermelon from the roof to the ground. It is same as gravitational potential energy i.e.
W = mgh
W = 846.72 Joules
So, the work done by the gravity on the watermelon is 846.72 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

As it's negative the box will move left
The North Magnetic Pole is the point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate about a horizontal axis, it will point straight down). There is only one location where this occurs, near (but distinct from) the Geographic North Pole and the Geomagnetic North Pole. So yes true
