Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy in the avocado is 180 Calories, which is 180,000 calories or 753,120 Joules (since 1 Calorie = 1000 calories and 1 calorie = 4.184 J). The work done to lift the bucket is equal to the energy, so using the formula Work = Force x Distance, we have 753,120 J = 40 N x Distance. Solving for Distance gives 18,828 m, which is approximately 1.88E+4 m.
