Does anyone know the answers to these physical science questions?

Here are the questions if you know how to work it out please show what you can and the answer. Thanks!1. A 1,000 newton skydiver jumps from an altitude of 3000 meters. What is the total work performed on the skydiver?2. A bulldozer performs 80,000 joules of work pushing dirt a distance of 20meters. What is the force of the dirt?3. What is the force on a 1 kg ball that is falling freely due to the pull of gravity?4. A mass of 1 kg is acted upon by a force of 2 newtons. What acceleration does the mass acquire?5. Find the distance an object will move if it travels at a speed of 4 meters/second for 10 seconds. 6. Find the time it would take a vehicle moving north at 30 km/hr to travel 27 kilometers.

Answer:

1) Work is force x distance (if they are parallel, if not you have to apply vector calculus) so it'd be 1,000,000 joules 2) again, if W = F*d, then F is W/d which would be -4,000 N (negative because it opposes the bulldozer's force, which is the one which performs the work) 3) F = mass*acceleration, so F = m*g (g is the gravitational pull, or 9,8 m/s^2) so 9,8 N 4) 2 m/s^2, by the same formula 5) distance = velocity*time, so it's 40 metres 6) by the same formula, 54 minutes.
