The rock was lifted 1.5 meters.

Explanation:

We can use the energy equation #W = Fd# and substitute the given values. #W# = 150 J and #F# = 100N. Joules can be converted into Newton # * # meters, so the entire equation can be written as 150 N# * # m = 100N # * d#. Dividing by 100N on both sides results in the expression 1.5m = #d#. Thus, #d#, or distance equals 1.5 meters.
