A power lifter performs a dead lift, raising a barbell with a mass of 305 kg to a height of 0.42 m above the ground, giving the

barbell 1256.66 J of potential energy. The power lifter then releases the barbell, letting it drop towards the ground. Determine the magnitude of the vertical velocity of the barbell when it reaches a height of 0.21 m (on the way down) using a mechanical energy approach. Then calculate the velocity right as it reaches the ground using a mechanical energy approach. Confirm your answer for the velocity of the barbell right before it hits the ground by also calculating this velocity using a projectile motion approach.

Answer:

Explanation:

Before it hits the ground:

The initial potential energy = the final potential energy + the kinetic energy

mgH = mgh + 1/2 mv²

gH = gh + 1/2 v²

v = √(2g (H - h))

v = √(2 * 9.81 m/s² * (0.42 m - 0.21 m))

v ≈ 2.0 m/s

When it hits the ground:

Initial potential energy = final kinetic energy

mgH = 1/2 mv²

v = √(2gH)

v = √(2 * 9.81 m/s² * 0.42 m)

v ≈ 2.9 m/s

Using a kinematic equation to check our answer:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2(9.8 m/s²)(0.42 m)

v ≈ 2.9 m/s

Use the accompanying seismogram to answer which of the three types of seismic waves reached the seismograph first.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Primary waves (P-waves)

Explanation:

Due to excess of the energy inside the earth when the tectonic plates begin to slide or fracture then the energy is released in the form of seismic waves, this causes the earthquake.

<u>Two types of seismic waves are generally responsible for the earth quakes:</u>

  1. body waves
  2. surface waves

Body waves are of two types:

Primary waves (P-waves)

These are the fastest of all the waves involved in the earth-quake which travel at a speed of 1.6 km to 8 km per second.

They can pass trough solids, liquids and gases. They arrive at the surface as an instant thud.

Secondary waves (S-waves)

They can only pass through the solids and they move slower than the P-waves.

As S-waves move, they displace the rock particles, pushing them outwards perpendicular to the wave-path that leads to the earthquake-related first rolling period.

Surface waves (L-waves/ long waves)

  • These waves move along the surface of the earth. They are responsible for the earthquake's carnage.
  • They move up and down the Earth's surface, rocking the foundations of man-made structures.
  • Surface waves are slowest of the three waves, which means that they are the last to arrive. So at the end of an earthquake usually comes the most powerful shaking.

A string that is restricted at both ends has a length of 1.50 m. what is the wavelength of the string’s fundamental frequency?
lara31 [8.8K]
Since it is restricted at both ends, λ/2 = length of string

λ/2 = 1.5m
λ = 1.5*2 = 3m
