Work = (force) x (distance)

Each time she lifts the weight, she does

          (550 N) x (0.5 m) = 275 joules of work against gravity.

Each time she lets the bar down gently, gravity does

          (550 N) x (0.5 m) = 275 joules of work against her muscles. 

If the human physical muscular system were 100% efficient, and capable
of absorbing work as well as spending it, then the bodybuilder would do
exactly zero work in the process of 1-up followed by 1-down.

A hand lifts a block vertically upward at constant velocity. The work done by gravity on the block ____ if the system consists o
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.

If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.

Explanation:

If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.

On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.

An example of a measure of the mass of an object would be
atroni [7]

Answer:

Balances and Scales

A balance compares an object with a known mass to the object in question. One example of a balance is the triple beam balance. The standard unit of measure for mass is based on the metric system and is typically denoted as kilograms or grams.

1.) A stone falls from rest from the top of a cliff.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

ignore air resistance

Let t be the time of fall for the dropped stone.

½(9.8)t² = 43.12(t - 2.2) + ½(9.8)(t - 2.2)²

4.9t² = 43.12t - 94.864 + 4.9(t² - 4.4t + 4.84)

4.9t² = 43.12t - 94.864 + 4.9t² - 21.56t + 23.716

     0 = 21.56t - 71.148

t = 71.148/21.56 = 3.3 s

h = ½(9.8)3.3² = 53.361 = 53 m

or

h = 43.12(3.3 - 2.2) + ½(9.8)(3.3 - 2.2)² = 53.361 = 53 m

Ashley squirrel, named Jackie, rides on a bicycle with a constant kinetic energy of 3.6J. The mass of combination of Jackie and
yKpoI14uk [10]

The velocity of the combination of Jackie and the bicycle is 3.328 m/s.

Explanation:

From the given data the constant kinetic energy is 3.6 J. The mass of combination is 0.65 kg. To find the velocity of the combination of Jackie and the bicycle the formula  is

KE = 0.5 x mv2.

To find velocity,

V2=ke/(0.5×m)

V=\sqrt{(ke/(0.5*m)

v= 3.6/(0.5×0.65)

=\sqrt (11077/10)/10

v= 3.328 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the combination of Jackie and the bicycle is 3.328m/s.

German physicist Werner Heisenberg related the uncertainty of an object's position ( Δ x ) to the uncertainty in its velocity (
timama [110]

According to the information given, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle would be given by the relationship

\Delta x \Delta v \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m}

Here,

h = Planck's constant

\Delta v = Uncertainty in velocity of object

\Delta x = Uncertainty in position of object

m = Mass of object

Rearranging to find the position

\Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m\Delta v}

Replacing with our values we have,

\Delta x \geq \frac{6.625*10^{-34}m^2\cdot kg/s}{4\pi (9.1*10^{-31}kg)(0.01*10^6m/s)}

\Delta x \geq 5.79*10^{-9}m

Therefore the uncertainty in position of electron is 5.79*10^{-9}m
