Given:
speed of 0.40meters/seconds
1,800 Newton's horizontal force
Required:
Power of the horse
Solution:
P = F(D/T) where P is power in
watts, F is the force, D is the distance and T is time
P = (1,800N) (0.40 meters/seconds)
P = 720 Watts
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased
