Question

If it takes you 10 seconds to move a chair 5 meters across the floor, using a force of 2 Newtons, how much power did you put out?

Answer 1

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

1watt

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Time = 10s

Distance = 5m

Force = 2N

Unknown:

Power = ?

Solution:

Power is defined as the rate at which work is being done by a body.

Power =
`(Work done )/(time )`

Work done = Force x distance = 2 x 5 = 10J

So;

Power =
`(10)/(10)` = 1watt
