A child pulls on a wagon with a force of 75 N. If the wagon moves a total of 42 m in 3.1 min, what is the average power delivered by the child

Respuesta :

Answer:

16.96 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done by an object. The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

From the question,

P = (F×d)/t....................... Equation 1

Where P = power, F = force, d = distance, t = time.

Given: F = 75 N, d = 42 m, t = 3.1 min = 3.1×60 = 186 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (75×42)/186

P = 16.94 W

Hence the average power delivered by the child  = 16.96 W

The average power delivered by the child is 16.96 W.

What is Power?

Power can be defined as the rate at which work is done by an object. The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

Work done is the product of force and displacement caused.

Then the formula of power will be

P = (F×d)/t

Substitute F = 75 N, d = 42 m, t = 3.1 min = 3.1×60 = 186 s, we get the power as

P = (75×42)/186

P = 16.94 W

Hence, the average power delivered by the child is 16.96 W.
