A.) A weight lifter bench presses 185 lbs, lifting the weights from chest position (2.17 feet above ground), 1.80 feet above with extended arms. How much work has been performed?

B.) What energies (if any) are present at initial chest position?

C.) What energies are present (if any) at final position while weights are held briefly?

D.) How much energy (if any) is present at final position while weights are held briefly?

E.) Assuming that no nonconservative forces act on the system, what could you conclude between the initial and final energies of motion in this circumstance?

F.) Given the information on A and E, find the final velocity that weights are been lifted with.

Expert Solution

Here we apply definition of work done and definition of gravitational potential energy and work kinetic energy theorem.

10. A manufacturer produces 25-pound lifting weights. The lowest actual weight is 24 pounds, and the highest is 26 pounds. Each weight is equally likely so the distribution of weights is uniform. A sample of 100 weights is taken. a. Find the probability that the mean actual weight for the 100 weights is greater than 24.8. (Round your answer to four decimal places. b. Find the 95th percentile for the mean weight for the 100 weights. (Round your answer to...

Jim is lifting weights. Holding a 20lb weight down by his side, he bends his arm at the elbow, contracting his bicep, and holds the position until he reaches muscle fatigue. Briefly describe how the Henneman Size Principle relates to this example. List the steps of muscle fiber recruitment necessary for the initial lift and subsequent fatigue. Include a short summary of the muscle fiber types, and the properties that contribute to the speed of contraction, recruitment pattern and metabolic...
