The latent heat of fusion of mercury is 11.8 J/g. The amount of energy, rounded to the nearest tenth, needed to change 8.00 grams of mercury to a liquid isLatent heat of vaporization refers to which changes of state

Are there options for this?

W= fd
where f is an applied force and d is the distance over which it is applied. when a parachuting skydiver is at constant velocity, he is experiencing "terminal velocity", the point at which his acceleration down is canceled out by air resistance. that means that the resisting force of the air is equal to his weight, but in the opposite direction. with this, we can solve for the work done by the force.
w = fd
w = (92.0)(9.81 m/s^2) (325)
w= 2.93 x 10^5 j
the value for work in this case is positive because it is pushing up on the skydiver, who has a downward force of gravity.
therefore the answer is 2.93 x 10^5 j

We can infer that star y is closer but other factors must be considered including the heat of the star, the mass, and the brightness of the star. even though star x seems dimmer it may just be less bright or contain less heat.
