A weightlifter can exert an upward force of 3750 N. If a dumbbell has a mass of 225 kg, what is the maximum number of dumbbells

this weightlifter could hold simultaneously if he were on the Moon? (The Moon's acceleration due to gravity is approximately 0.166 times freefall acceleration on Earth.) The weightlifter cannot pick up a fraction of a dumbbell, so make sure your answer is an integer.

Answer:

10 dumbbells

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the gravity on the moon.

0.166 x 9.8 m/s² = 1.627 m/s²  (the gravity is 0.166 times the Earth's gravity)

Taking this acceleration due to gravity, and multiplying it by the mass of a single dumbbell.

F = m x a

F = (225 kg) x (1.627 m/s²)

F = 366.075 N  (the amount of force exerted by the dumbbell)

Taking the weightlifter's total upward force and dividing it by the force exerted by one dumbbell, we can calculate the amount of dumbbells that can be carried.

(3750 N) / (366.075 N)

= 10.24 dumbbells  (but since there cannot be a fraction of a dumbbell, the answer is <u>10 dumbbells</u>).

How can a 1kg ball have more kinetic energy than a 100kg ball? Explain both using words and by providing a numerical example
MariettaO [177]

1 kg ball can have more kinetic energy than a 100 kg ball as increase in velocity is having greater impact on K.E than increase in mass.

<u>Explanation</u>:

We know kinetic energy can be judged or calculated by two parameters only which is mass and velocity. As kinetic energy is directly proportional to the (velocity)^2 and increase in velocity leads to greater effect on translational Kinetic Energy. Here formula of Kinetic Energy suggests that doubling the mass will double its K.E but doubling velocity will quadruple its velocity:

\text { Kinetic Energy }=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Better understood from numerical example as given:

If a man A having weight 50 kg run with speed 5 m/s and another man B having 100 kg weight run with 2.5 m / s. Which man will have more K.E?

This can be solved as follows:

\text { Kinetic Energy of } \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{2} 50 \times 5^{2}=625 \mathrm{J}

\text { Kinetic Energy bf } \mathrm{B}=\frac{1}{2} 100 \times 2.5^{2}=312.5 \mathrm{J}

It shows that man A will have more K.E.

Hence 1 kg ball can have more K.E than 100 kg ball by doubling velocity.

1. If a model train car with a momentum of 12 kg•m/s collides with a 2 kg model train car that is not moving, what is the total
wariber [46]

Answer:

P_{f} = 12 \ kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Momentum of moving model train, P_{1} = 12 \ kg.m/s

Mass of the stationary model train, m = 2 \ kg

Initial speed of the stationary model train, v = 0

Assume there is no external force is acting on the given train system.

In this case, the total linear momentum of the trains would be conserved.

Let the final linear momentum of the trains be P_{f}.

Thus,

P_{i} = P_{f}

P_{1} + P_{2} = P_{f}

P_{1} + mv = P_{f}

12 + 2 \times 0 = P_{f}

\Rightarrow \ P_{f} = 12 \ kg.m/s.

What is the velocity of a quarter dropped from a tower after 10 seconds?
Goryan [66]
U = 0, the initial vertical velocity

Assume g = 9.8 m/s² and ignore air resistance.

Use the formula
v = u + gt
where v =  vertical velocity after t seconds.
That is,
v = 0 + (9.8 m/s²)*(10 s) = 98.0 m/s

Answer: 98.0 m/s
