Answer:
The work done by the weightlifter, W = 700 J
The power of the weightlifter, P = 350 watts
Step-by-step explanation:
A weightlifter lifts a set of weights a vertical distance, s = 2 m
The force exerted to lift the weight, F = 350 N
The work done by the body is defined as the product of the force applied by the body to the displacement it caused.
W = F x s
= 350 N x 2 m
= 700 J
The work done by the weightlifter, W = 700 J
The time taken by the weightlifter to lift the weight, t = 2 s
The power is defined as the rate of body to do work. It is given by the equation,
P = W / t
= 700 J / 2 s
= 350 watts
Hence, the power of the weightlifter, P = 350 watts
