Answer: 200 W

Step-by-step explanation:

In physics, power is defined as the amount of work done divided by the time taken to do that work:


P=(W)/(t)

where W is the work done and t is the time.

In this problem, the work done is W=600 J, while the time taken is t=3 s. Substituting into the formula, we find the power:


P=(600 J)/(3 s)=200 W

P = W/t
= 600 / 3
Power = 200 Watt
