<span>When a person lifts the block, the block has more potential energy. Therefore the person does positive work on the block. work = m g h work = (4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m) work = 52.92 joules The person's work on the block is 52.92 joules When the block is being raised, the force of gravity opposes the motion. Therefore the force of gravity does negative work on the block. work = - (force) (h) work = - m g h work = -(4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m) work = -52.92 joules The work done by the force of gravity on the block is -52.92 joules Note that when the block is moved horizontally, the potential energy does not change. Therefore there is no work done on the block when it moves horizontally (we are assuming that the kinetic energy does not change).</span>

What does convection mean
Sladkaya [172]
Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat

What do you mean by population size explain​
torisob [31]
Population size is the actual number of individuals in a population. Population density is a measurement of population size per unit area, i.e., population size divided by total land area. Abundance refers to the relative representation of a species in a particular ecosystem.
