Answer:

a ) = 381.48 J

b )=  84.25 cm

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the runner

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 66 x 3.4²

= 381.48 J

The final kinetic energy of the runner is zero .

Loss of mechanical energy

= 381.48 J

This  loss in  mechanical energy is due to action of frictional force .

b )

Let s be the distance of slide

deceleration due to frictional force

= μmg/m

.7 x 66 x 9.8 / 66

a = - 6.86 m s⁻¹

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = 3.4² - 2x6.86 s

s = 3.4² / 2x6.86

= .8425 m

84.25 cm

1. Who first published the classification of the elements that is the basis of our periodic table today?
Gre4nikov [31]
That particular group of elements is reffered to as the "Noble Gasses"--a title that comes from the fact that these gases are very "secure" and don't mix well with other elements.

A weight lifter is trying to do a bicep curl with a weight of 300 N. At the "sticking point", the moment arm of this weight is 3
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The weight lifter would not get past this sticking point.

Explanation:

Generally torque applied on the weight is mathematically represented as

             T =  F z

To obtain Elbow torque we substitute 4000 N for F (the force ) and 2cm = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02m for z the perpendicular distance

So Elbow Torque is   T_e= 4000 * 0.02

                                   = 80Nm

 To obtain the torque required we substitute 300 N for F and 30cm =\frac{30}{100} = 0.3 m

  So the Required Torque is T_R = 300 *0.3

                                                     =90Nm

Now since   T_e < T_R it mean that the weight lifter would not get past this sticking point
