Question

An elevator does 150,000 J of work while exerting a force of 1000 N to take people to the top floor of a building. What distance does the elevator travel?

Answer 1

the answer is B.150 m

Answer 2

Distance, d = 150 m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Work done by the elevator, W = 150000 J

Force exerted to take people to the top of the building is, F = 1000 N

Work done is defined as the product of force acting on an object and the distance travelled by it. Mathematically, it can be written as :

W = F × d

where

d is the distance travelled by the elevator.

`d=(W)/(F)`

`d=(150000\ J)/(1000\ N)`

d = 150 m

Hence, the distance traveled by the elevator is 150 m.
