Answer:
171.5Watts
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass = 5kg
Distance = 28m
Time = 8s
Unknown:
Power = ?
Solution:
Power is the rate at which work is done;
Power = [tex]\frac{work done }{time taken}[/tex]
Work done = force x distance = mg x d =
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity
d is the distance
Work done = 5 x 9.8 x 28 = 1372J
Power = [tex]\frac{1372}{8}[/tex] = 171.5Watts
