A weightlifter exerts an upward force on a 1000-N barbell and holds it at a height of 1 meter for 2 seconds. Approximately how m

uch power does the weightlifter exert on the barbell during this time?

Amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Power is the rate at which work is done, or W divided by delta t. Since the barbell is not moving, the weightlifter is not doing work on the barbell.Therefore, if the work done is zero, then the power is also zero.It may seem unusual that the data given in question is versatile i.e. A weightlifter exerts an upward force on a 1000-N barbell and holds it at a height of 1 meter for 2 seconds. But, still the answer is zero watts , this was a tricky question although conceptual basis of question was good! Power is dependent on amount of work done which is further related to displacement and here the net displacement is zero ! Hence, amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.

As an acapulco cliff diver drops to the water from a height of 42.0 m, his gravitational potential energy decreases by 27,500 j.
seraphim [82]

We know that potential energy is simply energy due to position which has the formula:

PE = mass * gravity * height

We know that mass * gravity is weight, therefore:

PE = weight * height

27500 J = weight * 42 m

<span>weight = 654.76 Newtons</span>

Help with this plz!!!
Alex

The answer is:

It is virtual and behind the mirror.

Mirrors produce images, either virtual or real.

Virtual images are produced when the image is behind the mirror. Real images are formed when they image is produced in front of the mirror.

So look at the image produced. It's small and found in behind the mirror.  This means that it is a virtual image. How do I know that its behind the mirror?

When you look at the diagram, the front side of the mirror is the blue side. This is a convex mirror.

An electron is moving directly toward you in a horizontal path when it suddenly enters a uniform magnetic field that is either v
blagie [28]

Answer:

To your left

Explanation:

The direction of the force exerted on charged particle due to a magnetic field is given by the right-hand-rule, where:

- The index finger indicates the direction of motion of the electron

- the middle finger gives the direction of the magnetic field

- the thumb gives the direction of the force if the particle is positively charged - otherwise, the direction is reversed

in this case, we have an electron (so, a negatively charged particle):

- The direction of motion (index finger) is horizontal, toward you

- The electron begins to curve upward as it enters the field, so this means that the force exerted on the electrons is upward --> the thumb must point downward (because the electron is negatively charged)

- The index finger gives us the direction of the magnetic field: therefore, to your left.

If a car has a mass of 1,000 kilograms, and a velocity of 35 m/s. What is its momentum?
fenix001 [56]

\vec{p}=m\vec{v}\\p = 1000 * 35=35000[\frac{kg*m}{s}]
