Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of skier=60 kg

distance traveled by skier=75 m

inclination(\theta )=30^{\circ}

speed (v)=2.4 m/s

as the skier is moving up with a constant velocity therefore net force is zero

F_{net}=0

Force applied by cable=mg\sin \theta

F=60\times 9.8\times \sin (30)=294 N

work done=F\cdot x

W=294\cdot 75=22.125 J

(b)Power=F\cdot v

P=294\cdot 2.4=705.6 W\approx 0.946 hp

Why is it important for a muscle to be attached to a fixed origin at one end and a moving insertion at the other? Discuss how th
vlabodo [156]
Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.

What are two ways an object can gain more gravitational potential energy?
Ostrovityanka [42]

When an item is raised, the work is done in opposition to gravity. When an item is worked on, energy is transmitted to it, and it develops gravitational potential energy. If the same thing falls from that height, gravity must do the same amount of effort to bring it back to the Earth's surface.
