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

Two long parallel wires are separated by 6.0 mm. The current in one of the wires is twice the other current. If the magnitude of
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of force per unit length of wire on each of wires

= μ₀ x 2 i₁ x i₂ / 4π r    where i₁ and i₂ are current in the two wires , r is distance between the two and  μ₀ is permeability .

Putting the values ,

force per unit length = 10⁻⁷ x 2 x i x 2i / ( 6 x 10⁻³ )

= .67 i² x 10⁻⁴

force on 3 m length

= 3 x .67 x 10⁻⁴ i²

Given ,

8 x 10⁻⁶ = 3 x .67 x 10⁻⁴ i²

i²  = 3.98 x 10⁻²

i = 1.995 x 10⁻¹

= .1995

=  0.2 A approx .

2 i = .4 A Ans .

What is the orbital velocity in km/s and period in hours of a ring particle at the outer edge of Saturn's A ring
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The orbital velocity v  =  16.4 \ km/s

The period is  T =  14.8 \ hours

Explanation:

Generally centripetal force acting ring particle is equal to the gravitational  force between the ring particle and the planet , this is mathematically represented as

       \frac{GM_s  *  m }{r^2 }  = m w^2 r

=>    w = \sqrt{ \frac{GM}{r^3} }

Here G is the gravitational constant with value  G = 6.67*10^{-11}

        M_s  is the mass of with value  M_s  =5.683*10^{26} \  kg

        r is the is distance from the center of the  to the  outer edge of the  A ring

i.e r = R  + D  

Here R  is the radius of the planet   with value  R  = 60300 \ km

         D  is the distance from the  equator to the outer edge of the  A ring with value  D = 80000 \  kg

So  

       r =80000 + 60300

=>    r =140300 \ km  = 1.4*10^{8} \  m

So

    =>    w = \sqrt{ \frac{ 6.67*10^{-11}*  5.683*10^{26}}{[1.4*10^{8}]^3} }

    =>    w =  1.175*10^{-4} \ rad/s

Generally the orbital velocity is mathematically represented as

       v  = w * r

=>     v  = 1.175*10^{-4}   * 1.4*10^{8}

=>     v  = 1.64*10^{4} \  m /s =  16.4 \ km/s

Generally the period is mathematically represented as

     T   =  \frac{2 \pi }{w }

=> T   =  \frac{2 *  3.142  }{ 1.175 *10^{-4} }

=> T   = 53473 \ second = 14.8 \ hours

Answer:

The orbital velocity v  =  16.4 \ km/s

The period is  T =  14.8 \ hours

Explanation:

Generally centripetal force acting ring particle is equal to the gravitational  force between the ring particle and the , this is mathematically represented as

       \frac{GM_s  *  m }{r^2 }  = m w^2 r
