Answer:
0.68 s
Explanation:
We are given that
Initial velocity of box=
Final velocity of box=v=11.5 m/s
Distance=d=8.5 m
We have to find the time taken by box to slow by this amount.
We know that

Substitute the values




We know that
Acceleration=
Substitute the values



Hence, the time taken by box to slow by this amount=0.68 s
1250 J in 5 sec= 250 Joule(s) per second (1250/5 0
250 Joules per second = 250 Watts ( 1J/s = 1 Watt per definition)
250 Watts output = 250/0.65 efficiency = 384 Watts input
1 Horsepower = 732 Watts
Motors 1 Horsepower and under are made in certain step sizes like
3/4 , 1/2 , 1/3, 1/4, 1/16 1/20 of a Horsepower.
3/4 Horsepower is 549 Watts
1/2 Horsepower is 366 Watts
so you need to 3/4 horsepower motor to achieve 1250 J of work in 5 seconds.
