The athlete lifts a 16 kg kettlebell to a height of 2 m, spending 0.8 s. How much power does the athlete develop?

To determine the power that a given athlete should have developed when lifting weights, we will use the formula: N = A / t = Fт * S / t = m * g * h / t.

Constants and variables: m – mass of the lifted weight (m = 16 kg); g – acceleration due to gravity (g ≈ 10 m / s2); h – weight lifting height (h = 2 m); t is the duration of the rise (t = 0.8 s).

Calculation: N = m * g * h / t = 16 * 10 * 2 / 0.8 = 400 W.

Answer: When lifting a kettlebell, a given athlete developed a power of 400 W.
