The work done on the barbell is -165.62 Nm.

Explanation:

Work done on any object is the measure of force required to move that object from one position to another. So it is determined by the product of force acting on the object with the displacement of the object.

In the present problem, the displacement of the object on acting of force is given as 1.3 m. And the weight of the object which is a barbel is given as 13 kg. As the work is to lift the object from the ground, so the acceleration due to gravity will be acting on the object. In other words, the force applied on the object to lift it should be in opposite direction to the acting of acceleration due to gravity.

Thus, Force = - Mass * Acceleration due to gravity = - 13 * 9.8 =-127.4 N

Now, the force is -127.4 N and the displacement is 1.3 m.

So, Work done = F*d

Work done = -127.4* 1.3 = -165.62 Nm

So, the work done on the barbell is -165.62 Nm.

The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time
vodomira [7]

Answer:

0.02 s

Explanation:

Take the (+x) direction to be up.  

The average velocity v during a time interval Δt is the displacement Δx divided by Δt.  

v=Δx/Δt

 =x_f-x_i/t_f-t_i                 (1)

We assume that your height is 1.6m  

Solving [1]

Δt=Δx/v

  = 0.02 s

Estimate the moment of inertia of a bicycle wheel 66 cm in diameter. The rim and tire have a combined mass of 1.2 Kg
Fed [463]
<span>For a point mass the moment of inertia is just the mass times the square of perpendicular distance to the rotation axis, I = mr^2. That point mass relationship becomes the basis for all other moments of inertia since any object can be built up from a collection of point masses. So the I = (1.2 kg)(0.66m/2)^2 = 0.1307 kg m2</span>

If a body p with a positive charge is placed in contact with a body q (initially uncharged), what will be the nature of the char
uysha [10]

If a body p with a positive charge is placed in contact with a body q (initially uncharged), then the nature of charge gained by q must be positive, because rubbing an uncharged body with a charged body or placed in contact with a positive charged body, helps gain a charge to the uncharged body.

There are a variety of methods to charge an object. One method is known as induction. In the induction process, a charged object is brought near but not touched to a neutral conducting object.

Let's know, how a element gain positive charge?

A positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons. A positive charge may be created by adding protons to an atom or object with a neutral charge. A positive charge also can be created by removing electrons from a neutrally charged object.

How do fossils provide evidence of continental drift?
Alex777 [14]
C explanation: There are many examples of fossils found on separate continents and nowhere else, suggesting the continents were once joined. If Continental Drift had not occurred, the alternative explanations would be: They swam to the other continent/s in breeding pairs to establish a second population. ...
