Answer:

10 KW

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the car is 50m/s.

The force of 200N is produced.

Power (W) = Velocity (m/s) × Force (N)

Power (W) = 50 × 200

Power (W) = 10000

1 Nm/s = 1 Watt

The power in Watts is 10000. The question asks for the power in kilowatts.

1 kilowatts = 1000 Watts

10000/1000 = 10 kilowatts

Answer:

10 kilowatts or 10,000 kw

Step-by-step explanation:

Power = Force × Velocity

Given that:

Velocity of car is 50 m/s

The force is 200N

The power would be:

P = 200 × 50

P = 10,000 W

Notice that it only reaches watts because of the unit of the velocity is m/s. Standard unit to make Kw is km.

Since:

1 kw = 1000 w

10 kw = 10000 w

Credits to the person below me for correction.
