A high school athlete is in the weight room training for wrestling season. He is trying to bench press a

Question

bar loaded with 100 kg. How much force must he exert to lift the loaded bar and overcome the force of
gravity?
Remember that a= 9.8 m/s .(1 point) 22
9800 N
109.8 N
10.2 N
980 N

Answer 1

The force needed to lift the loaded bar is equal to the weight of the bar, which can be calculated as follows:

Weight = mass x gravity
Weight = 100 kg x 9.8 m/s^2
Weight = 980 Newtons

Therefore, the high school athlete must exert a force of 980 Newtons to lift the loaded bar and overcome the force of gravity. The correct answer is 980 N.
