Answer:

No

Explanation:

According to physics, the work done by porter is zero but in reality porter gets tired as muscular energy is being used up.

In physics, work is the dot product of force and displacement. when the porter moves with the luggage, the weight act downwards while the porter moves forward. The angle between force and displacement is 90°. Thus, work done by the porter is zero.

The muscles are doing work in this case which is not calculated in physics.

Power is the rate of energy consumed during the work.

The average mass of an automobile in the United States is about 1.440x10^6 g express this mass in kilograms
-BARSIC- [3]
From the problem statement, this is a conversion problem. We are asked to convert from units of grams to units of kilograms. To do this, we need a conversion factor which would relate the different units involved. We either multiply or divide this certain value to the original measurement depending on what is asked. From literature, we will find that 1000 grams is equal to 1 kilogram. We use this as follows:

<span> 1.440x10^6 g ( 1 kg / 1000 g ) = 1440 kg</span><span>
