Answer: 7291.2 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance.

Thus, Workdone = Force X distance

Since Distance moved by box = 12 metres

mass of box = 62kg

Acceleration due to gravity when box was lifted is represented by g = 9.8m/s^2

Recall that Force = Mass x acceleration due to gravity

i.e Force = 62kg x 9.8m/s^2

= 607.6 Newton

So, Workdone = Force X Distance

Workdone = 607.6 Newton X 12 metres

Workdone = 7291.2 joules

Thus, 7291.2 joules of work was done.

A maple tree seed fell 180 centimeters straight toward the ground at a constant velocity. It moved that distance in 1.5seconds.

denis23 [38]

Answer: 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity $V$ is defined as the variation of position of an object or body in time. So, if we know the distance the seed traveled and the time, we can calculate its velocity:

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$d=180 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=1.8 m$ is the distance the maple seed traveled

$t=1.5 s$ is the time

Then:

$V=\frac{1.8 m}{1.5 s}$

$V=1.2 m/s$ This is the seed's velocity

As the tilt becomes higher (approaches 24 degrees) there is greater variation between the summer and winter months, due to the fact that the tilt toward the sun in the summer and away from the sun in the winter are more pronounced. </span>
