Formula for the work is
W=Fs
where F is force and s is distance
Now we can just substitute our data and find work
W=130N*2m=260J
The result is 260J.

The absolute minimum work required for that job is the potential energy that will be added to the trunk by moving it up 2meters.

Potential energy = (weight) x (height) = (130 N) x (2) = <em>260 Joules</em>

That's the absolute minimum, because the trunk itself needs that much
energy in order to get up there.  But if you're doing the lifting, you may need
to expend more energy than that, just because the human body is not a
100% efficient machine.  It always takes more work to do something physical
than the energy you actually deliver to the job.

Here's a mind-blowing factoid: 
Do you see that 260 joules up there in the answer to the trunk ?
If you eat, let's say, 1800 Calories a day and don't gain any weight, that means
that you're burning off 260 joules of energy about every 3 seconds ! ! ! 
Just to keep your body warm, keep your breathing going, keep your brain
in tune, and move yourself around !  
Enough energy to lift that 30-pound trunk about 6-1/2 feet straight up off
the floor !


1 Calorie = 4184 joules
1 day = 86,400 seconds

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration
lidiya [134]

Answer:

1.4m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the total distance covered divided by the total time taken.

 Average velocity  = \frac{total distance }{time }  

 Total time taken  = 5s + 6s  = 11s

The first distance covered  = velocity x time  = 1.4 x 5 = 7m

     second distance covered  = velocity x time  = 1.4 x 6  = 8.4m

So;

  Average velocity  = \frac{7 + 8.4}{11}    = 1.4m/s

The equation for electrical power is<span>P=VI</span>where V is the voltage and I is the current.

Describe a life cycle of a star
vagabundo [1.1K]
Planetary Nebula are the outer layers of a star that are lost when the star changes from a red giant to a white dwarf. A star is a luminous globe of gas producing its own heat and light by nuclear reactions (nuclear fusion). They are born from nebulae and consist mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. Is this what you needed?
