Over time, the types of technology can vary and be improved upon so that more advanced techniques become more valued. This could be the situation with mining whereby back in the 1500's in underground mines the rock was broken by fire setting ie lighting a fire below the rock face to heat up the rock and then throwing cold water on it to crack it, so that it could be dug by hand. With the advent of explosives, this all changed so that the rock could be blasted. The increase in advance rates for an underground heading have thus gone from 5-20 feet per month to up to 300meters (984 ft) per month for a 24/7 mining operation, which is a huge improvement.
Explanation:
The equation of motion of an object is given by :

Where
t is the time in seconds
We need to find the time when the object hits the ground. When the object hits the ground, h(t) = 0
So,


On solving above equation using online calculator, t = 8 seconds. So, the object hit the ground after 8 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
Work= Force in the direction of displacement*displacement.
You know the force in the direction of displacement (horizontally) and the displacement. So,
W=130*11=1430
Therefore, the work done is 1,430 Joules
