Answer:

1200J

21.8Watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 400N

Distance = 3m

Time = 55s

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Power = ?

Solution:

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.

Power is the rate at which work is done

Work done = Force x distance = 400 x 3 = 1200J

Power =
(work done )/(time) =
(1200)/(55) = 21.8Watts
