Amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Power is the rate at which work is done, or W divided by delta t. Since the barbell is not moving, the weightlifter is not doing work on the barbell.Therefore, if the work done is zero, then the power is also zero.It may seem unusual that the data given in question is versatile i.e. A weightlifter exerts an upward force on a 1000-N barbell and holds it at a height of 1 meter for 2 seconds. But, still the answer is zero watts , this was a tricky question although conceptual basis of question was good! Power is dependent on amount of work done which is further related to displacement and here the net displacement is zero ! Hence, amount of work done is zero and so power = 0 watts.
I assume the element has 5 valence electrons (not neutrons). The similar properties are shared between y and z since they have the same number of valence electrons. This is what is primarily responsible for chemical behavior.
