Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is

Ep = m · g · h Assuming that the acceleration is g = 10m/s²

Ep = 45.4 · 10 · 21.9 = 9,942.6 J

Devonte pushes a wheelbarrow with 830 W of power. How much work is required to get the wheelbarrow across the yard in 11 s? Roun

xxMikexx [17]

Answer: 9130 joules

Explanation:

Workdone by wheelbarrow = ?

Time = 11 seconds

Power = 830 watts

Recall that power is the rate of doing work. Thus, power is workdone divided by time taken.

i.e Power = (workdone/time)

830 watts = Workdone / 11 seconds

Workdone = 830 watts x 11 seconds

Workdone = 9130 joules

Thus, 9130 joules of work is required to get the wheelbarrow across the yard.

What is the average force (average with respect to height of the barbell from the ground) exerted by the weightlifter in the pro

Novay_Z [31]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A weightlifter holds a 1,300 N barbell 1 meter above the ground. One end of a 2-meter-long chain hangs from the center of the barbell. The chain has a total weight of 400 N. How much work (in J) is required to lift the barbell to a height of 2 m?

What is the average force (average with respect to height of the barbell from the ground) exerted by the weightlifter in the process?

Answer: Average force exerted by the weightlifter in the process = 1600N

Explanation:

To find Work done to lift a barbell and half of the hanging chain we say;

W₁ = ( 1300N + (1/2 × 400N)) × 1m

W₁ = (1300 + 200) Nm

W₁ = 1500J

now work done to lift the upper half of the chain we say:

W₂ = (1/2 × 400N) × (1/2 × 1m)

W₂ = 200N × 0.5m

W₂ = 100J

So total work done will be

W = W₁ + W₂

W = 1500J + 100J

W = 1600J

To find the average force exerted by the weight lifter, we say;

F = W/D

F = (1600 / 1m) N

F = 1600N

∴Average force = 1600N

Nikolas had an idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard.

Vikentia [17]

The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the Third law that states:

When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.

So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:

 $FA = -FB$
