Question

The power required to exert 1 N force, over a distance of 1 m in 1 second is?

1) 2 W
2) 3 W
3) 1 W
4) 1/3 W

Answer 1

The power required to exert a 1 N force over a distance of 1 m in 1 second is 1 watt (W).

Step-by-step explanation:

The power required to exert a 1 N force over a distance of 1 m in 1 second can be calculated by first determining the work done, which is defined as force multiplied by distance. Hence, 1 N of force exerted over a distance of 1 m is 1 joule (J) of work. Power is the rate of doing work, so 1 J done in 1 second results in a power of 1 watt (W). Therefore, the power required is 1 W.
