Answer:
Distance = 7 m
Power = 12.5 J/s or watts
Explanation:
Work done = 175 Joules
Force exerted = 25 Newtons
Work done is the product of force exerted and the distance moved by a body.
Therefore;
Work done = Force × distance
Rearranging the formula we can work out the distance;
Distance = work done ÷ Force
= 175 J ÷ 25 N
= 7 m
Thus, the grand piano was moved by 7 m across the living room .
On the other hand,
Power is the rate at which the work is done.
Therefore;
Power = Work done ÷ time
Work done = 175 Joules
Time = 14 seconds
Thus;
Power generated = 175 J ÷ 14 sec
= 12.5 J/s or watts
Hence, a power of 12.5 J/s was generated in moving the grand piano.
