How much work does he do? How many food calories does the weight lifter use if he does this lift 35 times? Assume the weight lifter does no work in letting the barbell drop back to his chest.arrow_forward
- A man pushes a 85.9-N crate a distance of 3.7 m up a long frictionless ramp at a constant speed. His pushing force is parallel to the ramp. The ramp makes a 30.0-degree angle with the horizontal. What is the work done by the man in pushing the crate? Give your answer in joules, rounded to one decimal place.arrow_forwardA rope is tied to a box and used to pull the box 1.5 m along a horizontal floor. The rope makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal and has a tension of 5 N. The opposing friction force between the box and the floor is 1 N. How much work does each of the following forces do on the box: (a) gravity, (b) the tension in the rope, (c) friction, and (d) the normal force? What is the total work done on the box?arrow_forwardA 10 kg barbell is rolling down a hill. There is no friction or air resistance acting on it, only the force of gravity. If it starts out moving 2 ms1, and ends up moving 7 ms1, then how much work does gravity do on it?arrow_forward
- A figure skater slides to a stop by pushing her blades against the ice as shown. The ice exerts a constant force of 200 N on the skater, and the skater stops at 0.6 m. The angle between the force and the skater's direction of motion is 140°. What is the work done on the skater by the ice?arrow_forwardThe spring-flex exercise system consists of a spring with one end fixed and a handle on the other end. The idea is that you exercise your muscles by stretching the spring from its natural length, which is 38 cm. If a 170 Newton force is required to keep the spring stretched to a length of 52 cm, how much work is required to stretch it from 51 cm to 70 cm? Your answer must include the correct units.
