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 x Distance a 6.5 J b 9.0 J c 3.3 J d 3.5 J
To calculate the work done by Maddie, we can use the formula: Work = Force x Distance.
Given that Maddie uses a force of 6 N to lift 150 kg of weight to a height of 1.5 m, we can plug in the values into the formula.
Work = 6 N x 1.5 m = 9 J.
Therefore, the correct answer is option b) 9.0 J.
