Question

A machine takes 0.5 seconds to move a brick 1 meter and put 100 Joules of energy into it. (hint: Power is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. Or we say power is work done per unit time. LaTeX: P\:=\:\frac{W}{t}P = W t) This machine would expend more power in this action if it:

Answer 1

200 Watts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Power is defines as the amount of work expended per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as Power = Workdone/Time

Given parameters

Energy used up 100Joules

Distance moved by brick = 1 meters

Time taken by the machine = 0.5 secs

Power can also be written as Energy/Time

Required

We need to calculate the amount of power used up.

Power = 100J/0.5s

Power = 100/(1/2)

Power = 100 * 2/1

Power = 200Watts.

This shows that the machine would expend 200Watts of power
