Answer:

5000 W

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

P = W/t................. Equation 1

Where P = Power, W = work done by the car, t = time.

But,

W = F×d ............. Equation 2

Where F = Force, d = distance

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = (F×d)/t.............. Equation 3

From the question,

Given: F = 2000 N, d = 50 m, t = 20 seconds.

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (2000×50)/20

P = 5000 W
