Answer:
P = 7500 [W]
Explanation:
First We must use Newton's second law to find the force. Newton's Second Law tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
∑F = m*a
where:
m = mass = 150 [kg]
a = acceleration = 5 [m/s²]
We know that the work is determined by multiplying the force by the distance, in this way the units of the work are [N*m] which corresponds to 1 Joule [J].
And the power is determined by dividing the work by the time, in this way we have that [J/s] corresponds to 1 [W].
We must convert the speed from kilometers per hour to meters per second.
where:
P = power [W]
F = force = 750 [N]
v = 10 [m/s]
