A weight lifter picks up a barbell and 1. lifts it chest high 2. holds it for 30 seconds 3. puts it down slowly (but does not dr

op it). rank the work w that the weight lifter does during each of these three operations. label the quantities as w1, w2, and w3. (hint: think about how work is defined in terms of who is applying forces and who is doing work.) w3 = w2 = w1 w3 = w1 > w2 w2 > w1 > w3 none of the above w1 > w2 > w3 w3 > w2 > w1 w2 > w3 > w1 justify your ranking order.

1. lifts it chest high

The force opposing to this action is the force due to gravity. Therefore the work done is:

W1 = m g d

where m is mass of the barbell, g is gravity and d is displacement

 

2. holds it for 30 seconds

Work is a product of force and displacement, since there is no displacement, therefore work done is zero.

W2 = 0

 

3. puts it down slowly

If the barbell was dropped, then it would simply be a free fall. But since it was not, so the work done here is also equal to the weight of the barbell times displacement:

W3 = m g d

 

We can see that W1 = W3, and since W2 = 0, therefore the answer is:

<span>w3 = w1 > w2</span>

shutvik [7]

Answer:

c) The wavelength decreases but the frequency remains the same.

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

<u>The frequency of the light does not change but the wavelength of the light changes with change in the speed.</u>

c = frequency × Wavelength

Frequency is constant,

The formula can be written as:

n = λ / λn.

Where,  

λn is the wavelength in the medium

λ is the wavelength in vacuum

<u>When the light travels to glass, it speed slows down and also the wavelength decreases as both are directly proportional. There will be no effect on frequency.</u>

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Total internal reflection is going on. The refractive index of water is about 1.3, so sin 90/sin r=1/sinr=1.3. So the fish can only see objects outside the water within about 50 degrees of the vertical
