The chin-up is one exercise that can be used to strengthen the biceps muscle. This muscle can exert a force of approximately 8.00 102 N as it contracts a distance of 7.5 cm in a 75-kg male.3 (a) How much work can the biceps muscles (one in each arm) perform in a single contraction?

Review. You can think of the workkinetic energy theorem as a second theory of motion, parallel to Newtons laws in describing how outside influences affect the motion of an object. In this problem, solve parts (a), (b), and (c) separately from parts (d) and (e) so you can compare the predictions of the two theories.

(b) Use the workkinetic energy theorem to find the net work that is done on the bullet. (c) Use your result to part (b) to find the magnitude of the average net force that acted on the bullet while it was in the barrel. (d) Now model the bullet as a particle under constant acceleration. Find the constant acceleration of a bullet that starts from rest and gains a speed of 780 m/s over a distance of 72.0 cm. (e) Modeling the bullet as a particle under a net force, find the net force that acted on it during its acceleration. (f) What conclusion can you draw from comparing your results of parts (c) and (e)?
