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

An object is at rest in front of a compressed spring. It travels over a surface that exerts a kinetic frictional force on it and
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

the object will travel 0.66 meters before to stop.

Explanation:

Using the energy conservation theorem:

E_i+K_i+W_f=K_f+U_f

The work done by the friction force is given by:

W_f=F_f*d\\W_f=\µ*m*g*d\\W_f=0.35*4*9.81*d\\W_f=13.7d[J]

so:

\frac{1}{2}1800*(10*10^{-2})+0-13.7d=0+0\\d=0.66m

How are hot spots used to track plate motion
wel
Hot spots are fixed locations in the earth's mantle where heat from the earth's interior rises to the surface and produces volcanism. the earth's plates, which are slowly but constantly moving, are pierced by the uprising magma. as they move away form the hotspot, the volcanoes become dormant and are replaces by new volcanoes. The direction of the line formed from the previous volcanoes indicates the direction  :)))
