3 0

Answer:

150 inches (12.5 ft)

Explanation:

The work done to lift the 500 pound block 3 inches should be the same as that to lift the 10 pond object a given distance.

The following is the equation one needs to solve:

$10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,500\,lb\,*\,3\,in\\10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,1500\,lb\,in\\$

therefore solving for the distance "x" gives as the answer (in inches):

$10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,1500\,lb\,in\\x\,=\,\frac{1500\,lb\,in}{10\,lb} \\\\x\,=150\,in$

which can also be given in feet as: 12.5 ft

Answer: c. they will hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

The volume of both objects is almost the same, so the force of friction will be the same in each one, so we can discard it.

Now, when yo drop an object, the acceleration of the object is always g = 9.8m/s^2 downwards, independent of the mass of the object.

So if you drop two objects with the same volume but different mass, because the acceleration is the same for both of them, they will hit the ground at the same time, this means that the density of the object has no impact in how much time the object needs to reach the floor.

So the correct option is c
