What is the kinetic energy of a 2.7kg book

The weightlifter's internal store of energy decreased when he lifted the bar.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat.

Explanation:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat. As long as the weightlifter controls the weight's descent, their muscles are acting as an overdamped shock absorber, as if the weight were sitting on a piston containing very thick fluid, slowly compressing it downward (and slightly heating up the fluid in the process). Since muscles are complicated biological systems and not simple pistons, they require metabolic energy to maintain tension throughout the controlled descent, so the weightlifter feels like they're putting energy into the weight, even though the weight's gravitational potential energy is being converted into heat within the lifter's muscles.

#3: a container has the dimensions of 30 cm x 50 mm x 0.2 m. the density of its contents is 2.5 g/cm3. what is the mass of the s

WARRIOR [948]

Good afternoon!

We calculate the volume of the container in cm³. To do that, we must put the units in cm:

30 cm → 30 cm
50 mm → 5 cm
0.2 m → 20 cm

The volume is:

V = 30 . 5 . 20

V = 3000 cm³

Now, we calculate the mas with the formula:

m = dV

m = 2.5 · 3000

m = 7500 g

Dividing by 1000, we have the mass in kg:

m = 7.5 kg
