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:

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

If we think of the value system, as a river, and each stop along the river is a port where value was added. What was the startin

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The raw materials.

Explanation:

The starting point of every manufactured object is the raw material. In the value system of the film industry, the starting point is the raw material which includes chemicals used in the manufacture of films and cameras.

Therefore, If we think of the value system, as a river, and each stop along the river is a port where value was added. The starting point, the furthest upstream, in the value system in the film industry is the raw materials.

What is the angle of deviation in a plane mirror at normal incidence?

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The deviation of a mirror is equal to twice the angle of incidence.The total angle between the straight-line path and the reflected ray is twice the angle of incidence. This is called the deviation of the light and measures the angle at which the light has strayed from its initial straight-line path.

Energy is transferred by the process of convection from the hot water at the bottom of the tank to the cooler water at the top.

iragen [17]

The transfer of energy means, in convention process, transport of matter. In this case, hot water has lower density than cool water. The water with less density ascends and leaves gaps that are occupied with cooler water "packages".

I need a short written description of Newton's three laws.

Tom [10]

Newton’s first law of motion, also called the law on inertia, states that an object continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless compelled to change that state by an external force.Newton’s second law of motion states that if a net force acts on an object, it will cause an acceleration of that object.Newton’s third law of motion<span> states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. hope this wasnt two long!</span>
