Using the equation P = W/t to solve your problem .

Thus the answer is all of them use the same amount of power. 20 J.

Answer:

They all used the same power.

Step-by-step explanation:

Power is equal to the ratio between the work done (W) and the time taken (t):


P=(W)/(t)

Let's calculate the power used in the three scenarios:

A)
P=(120 J)/(6 s)=20 W

B)
P=(160 J)/(8 s)=20 W

C) tex]P=\frac{200 J}{10 s}=20 W[/tex]

So, the power used is the same in the three scenarios.
