Answer:

50 W

Step-by-step explanation:

Power can be found using the following formula.

p=w/t

where w is work and t is time.

400 Joules of work is done on the object in 8 seconds. Therefore,

w= 400 J

t= 8 s

Substitute these values into the formula.

p=400 J/ 8 s

Divide 400 by 8

p=50 J/s

Add appropriate units. In this case, power uses Watts, or W. (1 Joule per second, or J/s is equal to 1 Watt, or W)

p= 50 W

The object experiences 50 Watts of power
