The work done on the sail is 600 J

Explanation:

The work done to lift the sail is equal to the gain in gravitational potential energy of the sail, therefore is:

W=mg\Delta h

where

m is the mass of the sail

g is the acceleration of gravity

(mg) is the weight of the sail

\Delta h is the change in height of the sail

In this problem we have

mg = 150 N (weight)

\Delta h = 4.0 m

Substituting, we find the work done:

W=(150)(4.0)=600 J

Why do the planets appear in different locations in the night sky while the pattern of stars in a constellation stays the same?
Goshia [24]
I'm sure you've noticed that an airplane high in the sky, far away
from you, looks like it's moving very slowly.  At the same time,
somebody passing you on a skateboard whizzes past you at
high speed.  The farther away something is from you, the slower
it appears to move.

The nearest star outside the solar system is almost 32 thousand times
as far away from us as the farthest visible planet (Saturn) is, and all of the
other stars are farther than that. 

That's why you have to wait a few thousand years before you notice
that the shape of a constellation has changed.

To put it a slightly different way . . . Everything is in motion.  The motion is
more noticeable for nearby things, and less noticeable for farther-away things. 
Objects within our solar system are the only ones near enough so that a human
lifetime is a long enough period in which to notice the change in their position.
Even Pluto moves less then 1.5° against the 'background' stars in a whole year.

This all makes me feel small.  How about you ?

Why can you see your own reflected image in a mirror but not on a dry, painted wall?
kaheart [24]
A wall uses diffuse reflection while a mirror uses specular reflection. For example, when parallel light rays enter a mirror, they remain parallel when exiting the mirror, allowing you to see a reflection of the light rays. On the contrary, when incident light rays enter a wall which is painted, the rays scatter, not allowing you to see anything but a painted wall.
