Answer:

The answer to your question is: Power = 58.86 W

Step-by-step explanation:

Power is defined as the rate at which energy is transferred of the rate at which work is done.

Power = P

Work = W

time = t


P = (W)/(t)

Data

mass = m = 5 kg

speed = v = constant

distance = 3 m

time = 2.5 s

gravity = g = 8.81 m/s²

Formula

Weight = mass x gravity

= m x g

Work = Weight x distance

Power = Work / time

Process

1.- Calculate the weight of the body

Weight = 5 x 9.81

Weight = 49.05 N

2.- Calculate the work done

Work = 49.05 x 3

Work = 147.15 J

3.- Calculate power

Power = 147.15 / 2.5

Power = 58.86 W
