A man lifts a 120 kg barbell 2 m above the ground . What is the gain in gravitational PE of the barbell?

Physics
1 answer:
SpyIntel [72]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

2,352 Joules

Explanation:

At the ground, the barbell has a classical mechanical energy value of zero. There is no classical kinetic or potential energy for the barbell. The moment the man starts to lift the barbell, he does work on the barbell and transfers kinetic energy to it due to the motion. At its maximum height where the man lifts the barbell to a stop, the kinetic energy is zero because it transformed into gravitational potential energy stored in the gravitational field. Our reference point for potential was defined to be zero at the floor, therefore we can say that the gravitational potential energy at 2 meters is:

U=mgh=(120kg)(9.8m/s^2)(2m)=2,352J

Which statement describes a controlled experiment?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

In a controlled experiment, an independent variable (the cause) is systematically manipulated and the dependent variable (the effect) is measured; any extraneous variables are controlled. The researcher can operationalize (i.e. define) the variables being studied so they can be objectivity measured.

Given the information below, estimate the total distance travelled during these 6 seconds using a left endpoint approximation. t
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

184 feets

Explanation:

Given the data:

time (sec) __ velocity (ft/sec)

0 __________30

1 __________ 54

2 __________56

3 __________34

4 __________ 8

5 __________ 2

6 __________22

Using left end approximation:

(0,1) ___ f(0) = 30

(1,2) ___ f(1) = 54

(2,3) ___f(2) = 56

(3,4) ___f(3) = 34

(4,5) ___f(4) = 8

(5,6) __ f(5) = 2

Hence, the Total distance traveled during the 6 second interval is:

Change ; dT = 1

1 * (30 + 54 + 56 + 34 + 8 + 2) = 184

What is the rate of acceleration due to gravity on Earth?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Negative 9.8 meters per second squared

Explanation:

The negative is for the direction (down, towards the center of the earth). Often this can be estimated as -10 m/s^2 to make calculations easier.

If a poison is ingested that prevents the release of acetylcholine, which one of the following would occur at a myoneural juncti
kirill115 [55]
Had to look for the options and here is my answer.
Given the situation that a poison is consumed and this prevented the acetylcholine release, the one that would most likely occur at a myoneural junction is that "sodium and potassium gates on the motor end plate will not open". Hope this helps.
