Maddie is on the weightlifting team at her school. She must lift as much weight as possible from the 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 × Distance
A. 6.5 j
B. 3.3 j
C. 3.5 j
D. 9.0 j
To calculate the work done by Maddie, we can use the formula: Work = Force × Distance.
Given:
Force = 6 N
Distance = 1.5 m
Work = 6 N × 1.5 m
Work = 9 J (joules)
Therefore, Maddie will do 9 joules of work.
Answer: D. 9.0 J
