Answer:

1400joules

Step-by-step explanation:

work(j)= force × distance.

Distance is from 5m to 12 that is 7m

Force, we weren't given, and the formula is mass × acceleration due to gravity. mass is 20kg and a is 10 or 9.8

f= 20×10

f=200

work= 200 × 7

work= 1400joules

Hope it helped(...and is correct )
