Final answer:
The correct formulas for mechanical power are P = W/t, P = Fd/t, and P = Fv. Therefore, the answer to the question is E. all of the above.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct formulas for mechanical power are:
- P = W/t
- P = Fd/t
- P = Fv
Where
P
denotes power,
W
represents work,
t
stands for time,
F
is the force,
d
refers to the displacement, and
v
is the velocity. Looking into the formulas, we can see that options A (P = W/t), B (P = Fd/t), and C (P = Fv) are expressions for power. Hence, option D, which states both A and B, is correct. As C is a valid formula too, the answer is
E. all of the above
