Answer: The work done in lifting something is W=mgh where m is the mass of the objet, g is the gravity acceleration and h is the height, this work is done because you are "fighting" against the force of gravity.

so in this case we have W = 20kg*9.8m/s*1m= 196N

W=mgh W=(20)(9.8)(1) w=196J

Answer:

Explanation:

This does not violate Newton's 1st law because the net force would still be 0 in order to produce uniform motion (aka constant velocity). The other forces acting on the vehicles is air resistance which is non-zero. So we need car internal force to counter balance this force, which require extra gas for the car.

A) The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion

A) The mass of the continent is $2.5\cdot 10^{21} kg$

B) The kinetic energy is 2016 J

C) The speed of the jogger should be 7.1 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the continent can be calculated as

$m = \rho V$

where

$\rho = 2800 kg/m^3$ is its density

V is its volume

We have to calculate its volume. We know that the continent is represented as a slab of side 5900 km (so its surface is 5900 x 5900, assuming it is a square) and depth of 26 km, so its volume is:

$V=(5900 km)^2 (26 km)=9.05\cdot 10^8 km^3 =9.05 \cdot 10^8 \cdot (10^9 m^3/k^3)=9.05\cdot 10^7 m^3$
