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>

What is the direction of transfer of energy in the waves produced?
NemiM [27]
Transverse waves occur when a disturbance causes oscillationsperpendicular (at right angles) to the propagation (the direction of energy transfer). Longitudinal waves occur when the oscillations are parallel to the direction of propagation.

What is the gpe of a 200 kg hot air ballon 21,000 m above the ground?
stiv31 [10]

gravitational Potential energy is given by

GPE = mgh

here we have

m = 200 kg

h = 21000 m

now we will have

GPE = 200(9.8)(21000)

GPE = 4.116 \times 10^7 J

so GPE of balloon will be 41160000 J above the given height from ground

Your washer has power of 450 watts, and your dryer has a power of 3000
qaws [65]

Answer:

See explanations below

Explanation:

Power = Workdone/Time

Power of washer = 450watts

Time used to clean the clothes = 1hour = 3600secs

Energy used to clean a load of clothes in 1 hour of

washing = 450/3600

Energy used to clean a load of clothes in 1 hour of

washing = 0.125Joules

For drying;

Energy = 3000/1.5*3600

Energy = 3000/5400

Energy = 0.556Joules

Hence the energy in washing id 0.556Joules
