An athlete whose mass is 87.0 kg is performing weight-lifting exercises. Starting from the rest position, he lifts, with constan

t acceleration, a barbell that weighs 600 N. He lifts the barbell a distance of 0.65 m in a time of 1.3 s. Use Newton's laws to find the total force that his feet exert on the ground as he lifts the barbell.

Answer: X = 52,314.12 N

Explanation: Let X be the force the feet of the athlete exerts on the floor.

According to newton's third law of motion the floor gives an upward reaction based on the weight of the athlete and the barbell which is known as the normal reaction ( based on the mass of the athlete and the barbell)

Mass of athlete = 87kg, mass of barbell = 600/ hence total normal reaction from the floor = 87* 61.22/ 9.8 *9.8 = 52,200N.

The athlete lifts the barbell from rest thus making it initial velocity u=0, distance covered = S = 0.65m and the time taken = 1.3s

The acceleration of the barbell is gotten by using the equation of constant acceleration motion

S= ut + 1/2at²

But u = 0

S = 1/2at²

0.65 = 1/2 *a (1.3)²

0.65 = 1.69 * a/2

0.65 * 2 = 1.69 * a

a = 0.65 * 2/ 1.69

a = 0.77m/s²

According to newton's second law of motion

Resultant force = mass * acceleration

And resultant force in this case is

X - 52,200 = (87 + 61.22) * 0.77

X - 52,200 = 148.22 * 0.77

X - 52, 200 = 114.132

X = 114.132 + 52,200

X = 52,314.12 N

11. (a)What downward force is acting on you when you go down a waterslide? (b)What type of friction is
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

a) "gravitation" is the force causing you to go down a waterslide

b) It is "fluid friction" as a solid object (our body) moves over a fluid (the water)

c) It would become "sliding friction" since two solid surfaces slide over each other

d) fluid friction being the weakest friction, switching to sliding friction means a higher decrease in speed and therefore removing the water from a slide will decrease our speed

If a car takes a banked curve at less than a given speed, friction is needed to keep it from sliding toward the inside of the cu
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

minimum speed is 15.35 m/s

frictional coefficient  is 0.26

Explanation:

given data

radius = 84 m

angle = 16°

speed = 16 km/h = 4.43 m/s

to find out

minimum speed and   minimum coefficient

solution

we will apply here formula for velocity that is

velocity² = radius × g × tanθ

v² = 84 × 9.8 × tan16

v² =  236.04

v = 15.35 m/s

and

we find first friction force here

friction force 1 = m v² /r

friction force 1 = m (15.35)² / 84 = 2.80 m

and

friction force 2 = m v² /r

friction force 2 = m (4.43)² / 84 =  0.245 m

so total friction force = f1 - f2

total friction force = 2.80 - 0.245  = 2.55 m

so frictional coefficient = friction force /g

frictional coefficient = 2.55 / 9.8

so frictional coefficient  is 0.26

lilavasa [31]

Answer: Gradient Wind

Explanation:

Gradient wind, is the wind that accounts for air flow along a curved trajectory. It is an extension of the concept of geostrophic wind; for example the wind assumed to move along straight and parallel isobars (lines of equal pressure). The gradient wind represents the actual wind better than the geostrophic wind, especially when both wind speed and trajectory curvature are large, because they are in hurricanes and jet streams.
