Answer:

P = 106.7 W

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Work done in lifting a backpack, W = 80 J

It is lifted in 0.75 seconds

We need to find the power of the student. The power of an object is defined as work done per unit time. So,


P=(W)/(t)

Put all the values,


P=(80)/(0.75)\\\\P=106.7\ W

So, the power of the student is 106.7 W.
