One ounce of a well-known breakfast cereal contains 103 Calories (1 food Calorie = 4186 J). If 1.6% of this energy could be conv

erted by a weight lifter's body into work done in lifting a barbell, what is the heaviest barbell that could be lifted a distance of 1.8 m?

Answer:

the heaviest barbell that could be lifted  is 390.6kg

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this question you must follow the following steps

1. Find the amount of energy that can transform the body into motion, this is achieved by multiplying the breakfast consumed by the percentage of energy conversion.

W=(103Calories)(0.016)\frac{4186J}{1calorie} =6898.5J

2. We use the equation that defines the work done by a body that has weight when it is lifted, this is defined by the product of mass by gravity by height.

W=mgh

where

W=work=6898.5J

m=mass

g=gravity=9.81m/s^2

h=height=1.8m

now we solve for mass, and use the values.

m=\frac{W}{hg} =\frac{6898.5}{(1.8)(9.81)} =390.6kg

the heaviest barbell that could be lifted  is 390.6kg

According to another source this is what I got
<span>0.735 J ( Ep-potential energy, m-mass,g-gravitational acceleration = 9.81m/s², h-height; Ep = m * g * h; Ep = 0.0300 kg * 9.81 m/s² * 2.5 m )

A current of 0.5 A flows in a 60 W light bulb when the voltage differences between the ends of the filament is 120 V. What is th
LuckyWell [14K]

Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

Resistance = (120 V) / (0.5 A)

<em>Resistance = 240 ohms</em>

<em></em>

Know what ?  There might be too much information given in this question.  I want to check, because it's possible that it might not even all fit together.

To calculate my answer, I only used the voltage and the current.  I didn't use the "60 watts", and I'm curious to know whether it even fits with the given voltage and current.

Power = (voltage) times (current).

Power = (120 V) times (0.5 A)

Power = 60 watts  

Well gadzooks and sure enough !  The three numbers given in the question all go together nicely.  

And not only THAT !

The answer could have been calculated by using ANY TWO of them.

You need to pull up the cart up this ramp. How would you change this ramp so it is easier to pull the cart up?
natali 33 [55]
I would make the ramp flatter. In doing so the ramp would have to be longer.
