A weightlifter works out at the gym each day. Part of her routine is to lie on her back and lift a 43 kg barbell straight up from chest height to full arm extension, a distance of 0.53 m . Part A: How much work does the weightlifter do to lift the barbell one time?
Part B: If the weightlifter does 23 repetitions a day, what total energy does she expend on lifting, assuming a typical efficiency for energy use by the body?
Part C: How many 500 Calorie donuts can she eat a day to supply that energy?

A) Workdone = 223.57 N-m

B) 22357 J of energy

C) Number of donuts = 10.7 donuts

Explanation:

A) The work done is calculated from the formula;. Work done = Force × Distance

We are given;

Mass; m = 43 kg

Distance = 0.53 m

Force(weight) = mg = 43 × 9.81

Thus;

Work done = 43 × 9.81 × 0.53

Workdone = 223.57 N-m

B) We are told she does 23 repetitions a day.

Thus, we assume 23% efficiency.

So, Work = Energy

Thus;

At 100% efficiency;

Energy = (223.57/100%) × 23 repetitions = 5142.11 J

Now, since she is only 23% efficient, she will expend; 5142.11/0.23 J = 22357 J of energy to do 5390 J of work.

C) from conversions; 4.18 J = 1 calorie

Thus;

22357 J ÷ 4.18 J/cal = 5348.565 calories

We how many 500 calorie donuts she can eat in a day to supply that energy.

Thus;

Number of donuts = 5348.565 cal ÷ 500 cal /donut

Number of donuts = 10.7 donuts

mass and volume are the answers you are looking for

higher potential

explanation:

because it is in a high speed so it must move into a of high potential
