Answer: 200 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Power is simply the ability to do work. In essence, power is workdone per unit time.

So, Power = Workdone / time taken

In this case, time taken = 5 seconds

Workdone = 1000Joules

Power output = 1000 joules ➗ 5 second

= 200 watts (power is measured in watts)

Thus, your power output is 200 watts
