How much work does a mother do if she lifts each of her twin babies upward 1.0 m? Each baby weighs 90 N.

Answer (3)

W = F x d W = 90 x 1 Work done is 90 Nm

Work = distance * force Work = 1.0 * 90 Work = 90 Nm (Newton-meters) or 90 J (Joules)
For both twins at once, it's 2*90 = 180 J. Hope this helps! :)

The mother does 180 Joules of work lifting her twin babies upward 1.0 m, as each baby weighs 90 N. The work for one baby is 90 J, and for both, it is 180 J. This is calculated using the formula for work, W = F ⋅ d .
