Question

A force of 2,500 pounds drags a truck 30 feet in 1/2 minute.

How much work is accomplished and How much power was required?


Thank you for whoever can help me

I'm not sure why science isn't an option so I put Chemistry

Answer 1

The right subject for this question is physics.

To calculate the work you use the formula:

Work = force * displacement

Work = 2500 pounds * 30 feet = 75,000 pounds - feet


To calculate the power you use the formula:

power = work / time

Power = 75,000 pound - feet / 30 seconds = 2300 pound-feet / second.
