The power is 833.3 W

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the work done in lifting the barbell, which is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the barbell:

$W=(mg)h$

where

mg = 1250 N is the weight of the barbell

h = 2 m is the change in height

Substituting,

$W=(1250)(2)=2500 J$

Now we can calculate the power, which is equal to the work done per unit time:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

where

W = 2500 J is the work done

t = 3 s is the time taken

Substituting,

$P=\frac{2500}{3}=833.3 W$

Answer:

Support

Posture

Protection

Explanation:

Support – the skeleton keeps the body upright and provides a framework for muscle and tissue attachment.

Posture – the skeleton gives the correct shape to our body.

Protection – the bones of the skeleton protect the internal organs and reduce the risk of injury on impact.

How do you calculate the net force when there are multiple forces in different directions?

Artyom0805 [142]

To find $F_{net}$ we need to use vector addition and use the x and y components. First we subtract vector 2 from vector 5 which results in a vector with a length of 3 pointing directly east, then we use the distance formula to find the length of the net force $F_{net} = \sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2} \\$ which gives $F_{net} = 5$ . We now have a magnitude but we also need a direction, since vector 4 and vector 5 are perpendicular. Using $\theta = \tan^{-1} (\frac{4}{3})$ where tan^-1(y/x) we get an angle of 53 degrees. The resultant force vector is 5 distance with an angle of 53 degrees north east.
