Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

22.2 W

Explanation:

First of all, we calculate the work done by moving the wagon, using the formula:

$W=Fdcos \theta$

where

F = 20 N is the magnitude of the force

d = 1000 m is the displacement of the wagon

$\theta=0^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement (assuming the force is applied in the direction of motion)

Substituting, we find

$W=(20)(1000)=20,000 J$

Now we can find the power generated, which is equal to the ratio between the work done and the time taken:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

where

W = 20,000 J

t = 15 min = 900 s

Substituting,

$P=\frac{20000}{900}=22.2 W$

And the same value in Joules/second (remember that 1 Watt = 1 Joule/second)
