A weight lifter bench‑presses a 160.0 kg 160.0 kg barbell from his chest to a height equal the length of his arms, 0.800 m . 0.8

00 m. How much work does he do? work: J J What is the potential energy of the barbell relative to the weight lifter's chest after he lifts the barbell? potential energy: J J How many food calories does the weight lifter use if he does this lift 35 times? Assume the weight lifter does no work in letting the barbell drop back to his chest.

Answer:

A. 1254.4 J

B. 1254.4 J

C. 43904 calories

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of barbell, m = 160 kg

Length of arm, d = 0.8

A. Work done by weight lifter in lifting the barbell is:

W = F * d

Where F is force

F = m * g

=> W = m * g * d

W = 160 * 9.8 *0.8

W = 1254.4 J

B. Potential energy is given as:

PE = m * g * h

Where h is height (in this case, D)

=> PE = m * g * d

PE = 160 * 9.8 * 0.8

PE = 1254.4 J

C. The number of calories the weight lifter uses after lifting the barbell 35 times is equal to 35 times the potential energy, since a calorie is the measure of the amount of potential energy a piece of food contains:

35 * 1254.4 = 43904 calories.

Maslowich

Answer:

mass of box 1 = 2.20 kg

mass of box 2 = 5.93 kg

Explanation:

Let the mass of box 1 and box 2 is respectively

m_1 and m_2

so we will have

Force applied on box 1 then acceleration

a = \frac{F}{m_1 + m_2}

1.50 = \frac{12.2}{m_1 + m_2}

m_1 + m_2 = 8.13

Now we know that contact force between them in above case is given as

F_n = m_2a

8.90 = m_2(1.5)

m_2 = 5.93 kg

now we have

m_1 = 2.20 kg

A 75.0-kg ice skater moving at 10.0 m/s crashes into a stationary skater of equal mass. After the collision, the two skaters mov
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum change for either skater is mΔv = 75.0(5.0) = 375 kg•m/s

As a change in momentum is equal to an impulse

375 = FΔt

F = 375/0.100 = 3750 N

As 3750 N < 4500 N no bones are broken.

How does seismic waves cause earthquakes?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Seismic waves cause Earthquakes by shaking the ground aggressively and dangerously. These waves are usually calculated on a seismograph to calculate how hard the earthquake hit that area. A transform Boundary creates the tension when the tectonic plates gets stuck. It stays stuck for a long period of time. Then, at one point, the tectonic plates become unstuck which releases the tension into waves which are called seismic waves. Hope I answered you question.
