How much work is done by a crane that lowers 1000N of material a distance of 150

The crane does NO work.

Work = (force) x (distance)

         = (1,000 N) x (150 meters ?)  =  150,000 joules

But the work is in the direction of the force, and it isn't the crane
pushing the material down.  It's gravity.

Gravity is doing the work. 

If the material was being lowered by a cable wrapped around the shaft
of an electric generator, then you could use the work done by gravity to
generate some electrical energy, and then sell the energy.

Or, if the "material" happened to be water, you could let gravity lower it
through a turbine or a water wheel, and use the work done by gravity to
grind wheat.

Yes, the crane may be raising a sweat, working against gravity.  The
purpose is only to prevent gravity from doing the work too fast.

Since workdone is Force times distance Given force-1000n Distance-150 Wd-1000 times 150 Wd-150000n.

. Maria walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. What is her speed in miles per hour?
Simora [160]

1) 3 miles/Hour

The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 1.5 mi is the distance

t = 0.5 h is the time taken

Substituting,

v=\frac{1.5}{0.5}=3 mi/h

2) 1.34 m/s south

Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:

d=1.5 mi \cdot 1609 m/mi = 2414 m is the displacement in meters

t=0.5 h \cdot 3600 s/h =1800 s is the time taken in seconds

Substituting,

v=\frac{2414 m}{1800 s}=1.34 m/s

And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.
