A weightlifter works out at the gym each day. Part of her routine is to lie on her back and lift a 43 kg barbell straight up fro

m chest height to full arm extension, a distance of 0.55 m . Part A: How much work does the weightlifter do to lift the barbell one time? Part B: If the weightlifter does 23 repetitions a day, what total energy does she expend on lifting, assuming a typical efficiency for energy use by the body? Part C: How many 490 Calorie donuts can she eat a day to supply that energy

Answer:

A. 231.77 J

B. 5330.71 J

C. 46 donuts

Explanation:

A. To lift the barbell once, she will have to extend it the full length of her arm. The work done will then be:

W = F * d

Where the force is the weight of the barbell.

F = m * g

Hence, the work done in lifting the barbell is:

W = m * g * d

W = 43 * 9.8 * 0.55

W = 231.77 J

B. If she does 23 repetitions, the total energy she expend will be equal to the Potential energy when the barbell is lifted multiplied by 23:

E = 23 * m * g * d

E = 23 * 231.77

E = 5330.71 J

C. 1 Joule = 4.184 calories

5330.71 Joules = 5330.71 * 4.184 = 22303.69

If 1 donut contains 490 calories, the number of donuts she will need will be:

N = 22303.69/490 = 45.5 donuts or 46 donuts

1. A soccer ball is kicked horizontally off a cliff with an initial speed of 8 m/s and lands 16 m from the base of
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 m/s

Distance s = 16 m

Starting acceleration (a) = 0

Computation:

s = ut + 1/2a(t)²

16 = 8t

t = 2 sec

Height of cliff = S

Gravitational acceleration = 10 m/s

S = 1/2a(t)²

S = 1/2(10)(2)²

Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)

a 13-gram bullet, moving at 270 m/s, penetrates a 2 kg block of wood and emerges at a speed of 130 m/s. if teh block sits one a
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

1.52m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Substitute the given values into the formula

0.013(270)+2(130) = (270+130)v

3.51+260 = 400v

263.51 = 400v

v = 400/263.51

v = 1.52m/s

Hence the velocity after the bullet emerges is 1.52m/s

What occurs when someone places an ice pack on an injured ankle?
erica [24]

The answer is:

Heat from the ankle is transferred to the ice pack.

The explanation:

-when the ice pack  a lower temp than the ankle , it is very cool.

- and the injured ankle has a high temp or heat

and we know that Q transfer from the object with high heat to the object with the low temp So,

Heat will transfer from the ankle to the ice pack.
