A weightlifter lifts a 1250-N barbell 2 m in 3 s.How much power was used to lift the barbell?
1 answer:
The power is 833.3 W
Explanation:
First of all, we need to calculate the work done in lifting the barbell, which is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the barbell:
where
mg = 1250 N is the weight of the barbell
h = 2 m is the change in height
Substituting,
Now we can calculate the power, which is equal to the work done per unit time:
where
W = 2500 J is the work done
t = 3 s is the time taken
Substituting,

Answer:
Impulse of force = -80 Ns
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Mass = 50kg
Initial velocity = 1.6m/s
Since she glides to a stop, her final velocity equals to zero (0).
Now, we would find the change in velocity.
Substituting into the equation above;
Change in velocity = 0 - 1.6 = 1.6m/s
Substituting into the equation, we have;
<em>Impulse of force = -80 Ns</em>
<em>Therefore, the impulse of the force that stops her is -80 Newton-seconds and it has a negative value because it is working in an opposite direction, thus, bringing her to a stop. </em>
