Answer 1

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy the barbells have at the maximum height, is P.E. = 3680·h J = 1.10 × 10⁴ units

Where;

h = The maximum height to which he lifts the barbells

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The  amount of work done by the championship lifter in lifting the weight, W = 1.10 × 10⁴ units

The weight of the barbells lifted by the championship lifter, N = 3680 N

The gravitational potential energy, P.E., the barbells had at their maximum height of lift is given as follows;

P.E. = m × g × h

Where;

m = The mass of the barbells;

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The maximum height to which the barbells are lifted by the championship weight lifter

m × g = The weight of the barbells = 3680 N

∴ P.E. = 3680 N × h = 3680·h J

By the conservation of energy principle, work done by the championship weight lifter = The maximum gravitational potential energy gained by the barbell = The gravitational potential energy at the maximum height, P.E.

∴ The gravitational potential energy the barbells have at the maximum height, P.E. = 3680·h J = W = 1.10 × 10⁴ units
