Suppose you are employed part time in the stock warehouse at a local Canadian Tire store. You work 5 hours a week during which you lift many boxes and push carts filled with stock to and from the warehouse into the aisles. You are curious about the number of calories you burn while working so you make the following estimates: you guess that in one week of work entirely pushing a cart with force of 1,900 N over a total distance of 6,850 m. Calculate the work done in joules for one week of work. How many "food calories" is this? Your Answer: Answer
