maddie is on the weightlifting team at her school. She must lift as much as possible from ground to a straight up standing position. How much work will Maddie do if she uses a force of 6 N to lift 150 kg of weight to a height of 1.5 m?
work= force x distance
A)3.5 j
B)6.5 j
C)3.3 j
D)9.0 j
To calculate the work done by Maddie, we use the formula: work = force x distance.
In this case, the force applied by Maddie is 6 N, and the distance she lifts the weight is 1.5 m.
Therefore, the work done by Maddie is: work = 6 N x 1.5 m = 9 J.
The correct answer is D) 9.0 J.
