Question

dimas reads that it takes 270 n to lift a firefighters equipment. if a firefighter does 5400 j of work carrying the equipment up a staircase, how high does the firefighter climb? (work: w = fd) 5130 m 200 m 1,458,000 m 20 m

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given values

$W = 5400\text{ J}$, $F=270\text{ N}$

Step2: Use work - formula

We know $W = Fd$. Solving for $d$ (distance, which is the height in this case), we get $d=\frac{W}{F}$.

Step3: Substitute values

$d=\frac{5400}{270}$
$d = 20\text{ m}$

Answer:

$20\text{ m}$
