A weightlifter takes 0.5s to raise a barbell with 2 free-weights from the ground to a height of 0.9m. If each free-weight has a

mass of 30kg and the barbell has a mass of 20kg, calculate how much power the weightlifter produces when lifting the barbell?

Answer:

P = 1412.82 [Watt]

Explanation:

First we must calculate the total mass that makes up the barbell and the two free weights at each end of the barbell.

$m=30+30+20\\m= 80 [kg]$

Weight is now defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

$w=m*g$

where:

m = mass = 80 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

$w=80*9.81\\w=784.8[N]$

Now using the product of the weight by the distance traveled we can calculate the work.

$W=w*d$

where:

W = work [J]

w = weight = 784.8 [N]

d = distance = 0.9 [m]

$W=784.8*0.9\\W=706.41[J]$

And power is defined as the relationship of work at a certain time. The potency is expressed by means of the following formula.

$P=W/t\\P=706.41/0.5\\P=1412.82[W]$

mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

$n_{r}=1.572$

$n_{b}=1.587$

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}$

$\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}$

$\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

$\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0$

$\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

What is the most appropriate SI unit to express the speed of a cyclist in a 10-km race? km/s cm/h km/h mm/s

Murljashka [212]

You sure wouldn't want something like cm/s or (yikes cm/hr). You want a reasonable number for sports usually between 0 and 100

Km / hour would be a good choice.

The next town to where I live is 25 km away. On a good day, I can make it there in about 3/4 of an hour.

Speed = 25 km / 0.75 hour = 33.3 km/hour. That's actually a little fast most of the time. But you should understand what I mean.

A 0.2 kg block sliding on a horizontal table slows down from 25 m/s to 20 m/s. How much energy does the block lose due to fricti

Papessa [141]

Answer:

the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 0.2 kg

initial velocity of the block, u = 25 m/s

final velocity of the block, v = 20 m/s

The kinetic energy lost due to friction is calculated as;

$\Delta K.E= K.E_f - K.E_i\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2}m(v^2 -u^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= \frac{1}{2} \times 0.2 (20^2 - 25^2)\\\\\Delta K.E= -22.5 \ J$

Therefore, the kinetic energy lost due to friction is 22.5 J
