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>).

densk [106]

Here when car in front of us applied brakes then it is slowing down due to frictional force on it

So here we can say that friction force on the car front of our car is given as

F_f = \mu m g

So the acceleration of car due to friction is given as

F_{net} = - \mu mg

a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}

a = -\mu g

now it is given that

\mu = 0.868

g = 9.81 m/s^2

so here we have

a = -0.868 * 9.81

a = -8.52 m/s^2

so the car will accelerate due to brakes by a = - 8.52 m/s^2

A mechanic changing the spark plugs in a car notes that the instruction manual calls for a torque with a magnitude of
Papessa [141]

The magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.

<h3>Force exerted by the wrench</h3>

The force exerted by the wrench is calculated using torque formula as follows;

torque, τ = F x r x sinθ

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • r is the perpendicular distance if force applied

F =  τ /(r sinθ)

F = (39) / (0.3 sin 60)

F = 150.1 N

Thus, the magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.
