Answer to Question #102142 in Mechanics | Relativity for Ben Dover

Question

A student pushed a box 16.0 m across a smooth, horizontal floor using a constant force of 124 N. If the force was applied for 8.00 s, how much power did it take to accomplish this task, (to the nearest watt)?

Answer 1

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

$$P=\frac{(124)(16)}{8}=248\ W$$
