<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. 16.2 m/s

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Using the equation;

v = u + at; where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken;

u = 21 m/s, a= -2.4 m/s^2 and t = 2 seconds

Therefore;

v = 21 + ((-2.4) × 2)

  = 21 - 4.8

 <u> = 16.2 m/s</u>

A weight lifter picks up a barbell and 1. lifts it chest high 2. holds it for 30 seconds 3. puts it down slowly (but does not dr
Anna11 [10]

1. lifts it chest high

The force opposing to this action is the force due to gravity. Therefore the work done is:

W1 = m g d

where m is mass of the barbell, g is gravity and d is displacement

 

2. holds it for 30 seconds

Work is a product of force and displacement, since there is no displacement, therefore work done is zero.

W2 = 0

 

3. puts it down slowly

If the barbell was dropped, then it would simply be a free fall. But since it was not, so the work done here is also equal to the weight of the barbell times displacement:

W3 = m g d

 

We can see that W1 = W3, and since W2 = 0, therefore the answer is:

<span>w3 = w1 > w2</span>

Which of these best explains the ability of small insects to walk on the surface of still water?
Furkat [3]
Well, the surface of still water has surface tension. If there isn't enough mass or weight to break the surface tension, the object will float.

A weightlifter lifts a 250-kg mass 0.5 meters above his head, how much PEg does the mass have (Note: g=9.8 m/s2)? Round your ans
morpeh [17]

Answer:

1225 J

Explanation:

The Gravitational potential energy (PEG) gained by a mass lifted above the ground is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height at which the object has been lifted

In this problem, we have

m = 250 kg

h = 0.5 m

So, the PE of the object is

PE=(250 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.5 m)=1225 J
