Answer:
Work done, W = 5534.53 J
Explanation:
It is given that,
Force acting on the piano, F = 6157 N
It is pushed up a distance of 2.41 m friction less plank.
Let W is the work done in sliding the piano up the plank at a slow constant rate. It is given by :

Since,
(in vertical direction)

W = 5534.53 J
So, the work done in sliding the piano up the plank is 5534.53 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
The answer is D because instantaneous means at a particular point in time
Heat can be transferred from one place to another by three methods:
conduction in solids,
convection of fluids (liquids or gases),
radiation through anything that will allow radiation to pass.
The answer is "friction and air resistance" gravity does some of the work by keeping the object from floating away, but friction and air resistance does the biggest part. Friction is how rough the ground it meaning on tile, dirt, grass, etc... that would slow down the object and air resistance is the gravity pushing on the object also making it stop.
Hope this helps!
