Playing catch involves the ball moving in one direction in the air when you exert force. When the ball is in air, there is a gravitational force and a little it of backward air resistance until the other person catches it.
John used smothering as the method to control the harmful invasive plants in his orchard. Smothering is an example of a manual method of control and it works best in a small population of invasive species. Smothering involves covering the invasive species with a barrier that is highly impenetrable for one growing season in order to prevent these species from thriving in the environment.
Well, you gave us the formula to calculate power from work and time,
but you didn't give us the formula for work. We have to know that.
Work = (force) x (distance)
The work to raise Sara to the top of the hill is
Work = (300 N) x (15 meters)
= 4,500 newton-meters = 4,500 joules .
Now we're ready to use the formula that you gave us. (Thank you.)
Power = (work) / (time)
= (4,500 joules) / (10 seconds)
450 joules/second = 450 watts.
