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 0.53 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 500 Calorie donuts can she eat a day to supply that energy?

Answer:

A) Workdone = 223.57 N-m

B) 22357 J of energy

C) Number of donuts = 10.7 donuts

Explanation:

A) The work done is calculated from the formula;. Work done = Force × Distance

We are given;

Mass; m = 43 kg

Distance = 0.53 m

Force(weight) = mg = 43 × 9.81

Thus;

Work done = 43 × 9.81 × 0.53

Workdone = 223.57 N-m

B) We are told she does 23 repetitions a day.

Thus, we assume 23% efficiency.

So, Work = Energy

Thus;

At 100% efficiency;

Energy = (223.57/100%) × 23 repetitions = 5142.11 J

Now, since she is only 23% efficient, she will expend; 5142.11/0.23 J = 22357 J of energy to do 5390 J of work.

C) from conversions; 4.18 J = 1 calorie

Thus;

22357 J ÷ 4.18 J/cal = 5348.565 calories

We how many 500 calorie donuts she can eat in a day to supply that energy.

Thus;

Number of donuts = 5348.565 cal ÷ 500 cal /donut

Number of donuts = 10.7 donuts

Amazon rectangular bar of low carbon steel A-36 is exposed to an axial strees of 150 MPa. What is the original length of the bar

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

1.8m

Explanation:

Let the Elastics of the steel ASTM-36 $E = 200000 MPa$

The strain of the bar when subjected to 150 MPa is

$\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{E} = \frac{150}{200000} = 0.00075$

Therefore, if the bar elongates by 1.35 mm, then the original length L would be:

$\epsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L}$

$L = \frac{\Delta L}{\epsilon} = \frac{1.35}{0.00075} = 1800 mm$ or 1.8m

Student pushes a 50 N block across the floor for a distance of 15 m how much work was done to move the block

Talja [164]

Answer:

750 J

Explanation:

We have a student that pushes a 50N block across the floor for a distance of 15m. The question is asking how much work was done to move the block.

To solve this, we must know that we are looking for a certain thing called joules. And to get the answer, we must follow the formula of W = FS

F being the force and S being the distance.

W = FS

W = (50)(15)

W = 750

Therefore, 750 joules is our answer.

Planets are not uniform inside. Normally, they are densest at the center and have decreasing density outward toward the surface.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

a = 9.94 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

density at center= 1.6 x 10⁴ kg/m³

density at the surface = 2100 Kg/m³

volume mass density as function of distance

$\rho(r) = ar^2 - br^3$

r is the radius of the spherical shell

dr is the thickness

volume of shell

$dV = 4 \pi r^2 dr$

mass of shell

$dM = \rho(r)dV$

$\rho = \rho_0 - br$

now,

$dM = (\rho_0 - br)(4 \pi r^2)dr$

integrating both side

$M = \int_0^{R} (\rho_0 - br)(4 \pi r^2)dr$

$M = \dfrac{4\pi}{3}R^3\rho_0 - \pi R^4(\dfrac{\rho_0-\rho}{R})$

$M = \pi R^3(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho)$

we know,

$a = \dfrac{GM}{R^2}$

$a = \dfrac{G( \pi R^3(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho))}{R^2}$

$a =\pi RG(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho)$

$a =\pi (6.674\times 10^{-11}\times 6.38 \times 10^6)(\dfrac{1.60\times 10^4}{3}+2.1\times 10^3)$

a = 9.94 m/s²
