Answer: time t = 2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Power P = 50W

Energy E = 100J

How long did it take to move the box from the floor to the shelf ? This implies time taken.

Power is defined as the rate at which work is done. I.e

P = W.D/t

Where work done = energy

50 = 100/t

Make t the subject of formula

t = 100/50

t = 2 second
