Answer: D. 500 J

=========================================================

Explanation:

To find the amount of work done, we multiply the force by displacement

work = force*displacement

work = (100 N)*(5 m)

work = (100*5) Nm

work = 500 J

In this case, "Nm" refers to "Newton meters" and not "nanometers"

1 newton meter is equal to 1 joule

Answer:

The maximum height a person's brain could be above his heart is: 1.28 meter.

Explanation:

We need to know what is the normal blood pressure ours hearts so there is a rate: 120/80 (mmHg) and the average will be: 100 (mmHg) and using the Pascal law that relate pressure, density, gravity and height like: $P_{2} = pgh_{1} - pgh_{2} + P_{1}$ , where P is pressure, p is density, g is the gravity acceleration and h is the height. Now we can find the height and delta of pressure will be: P2-P1 = 100 (mmHg), knowing that 1(mmHg) is equal to 133 Pa, we can do the convertion to 13332.2 (Pa), now because the units of Pascal are Newton/(meter^2). Then we solve the formula to get the height: $\frac{P2-P1}{pg} =h$ so we get: $\frac{13332.2}{(1060*9,81)}=Height=1.28(meters).$
