Question

80N force ;

Answer 1

The power of the engine is 320 W.

Explanation:

Power may be defined as the rate of doing work (or) work done per unit time. One unit of energy is used to do the one unit of work.

                          Power = Work done / Time taken

Given, Force = 80 N,    height = 5 m , final velocity = 4 m/s

To calculate the power, we must know the time taken.

To find the time, use the distance and speed formula which is given by

                              Time = Distance / speed

Here distance = 5 m and speed = 4 m/s

                              Time = 5 / 4 = 1.25 s.

Now,          Power = work done / time

                              = (F * d) / t  = (80 * 5) / 1.25

                  Power = 320 W.

The standard unit of power is watt (W) which is joule per second.
