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.

What is surface tension? How does surface tension result from intermolecular forces? How is it related to the strength of interm
Bond [772]

Answer:

Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible.

Surface tension is caused by effects of intermolecular forces at liquid interface.

Surface tension increases as intermolecular forces increases.

Explanation:

  • Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. It can also be seen as the energy required to increase the surface of a liquid by a unit amount.
  • Surface tension is caused by the mediating effects of intermolecular forces at the liquid interfaces. Example in water, surface tension is caused by the mediating effect of the force between hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Liquids tends to reduce their surface area because of inward attarction of the liquid molecules.
  • Surface tension increases as intermolecular forces increases. Also, surface tension decreases as intermolecular forces decreases.

which has a greater kinetic energy, a bowling ball that has a mass of 5kg travelling at 6m/s, or a ship that has a mass of 12000
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:bowling ball has greater kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of bowling ball:

mass=m=5kg

Velocity=v=6m/s

Kinetic energy =ke

Ke=0.5 x m x v x v

Ke=0.5 x 5 x 6 x 6

Ke=90J

Kinetic energy of ship:

mass=m=120000kg

velocity=v=0.02m/s

Ke=0.5 x m x v x v

Ke=0.5 x 120000 x 0.02 x 0.02

Ke=24J
