Question

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!! If you exert 20 newtons of force to move a box 8 meters across the living room in 2 seconds what is your power?​

Answer 1

Power, P = 80 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The force acting on the box, F = 20 N

The displacement of the box, s = 8 m

The time taken by the box to cover the distance is, t = 2 s

The work done on the box is given by the formula,

W = F x S

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

W = 20 x 8

= 160 J

The rate of doing work is defined as the power,

P = W / t

= 160 / 2

= 80 watts

Hence, the power is, P = 80 watts.
