A horizontal force of magnitude 23.1 N pushes a box along a horizontal floor at a constant speed of 7.27 m/s. The velocity of the box and the force are in the same direction.
What is the power supplied by this force, in watts?
force * distance / time = power ... N * m / s = W
P = F*(d/t) = F*V = 23.1 * 7.27 = 168 J/s = 168 W.
To find the power supplied by a force, we can use the formula:
Power = Force x Velocity
In this case, the force is given as 23.1 N and the velocity is given as 7.27 m/s. Therefore, the power supplied by this force can be calculated as:
Power = 23.1 N x 7.27 m/s
To get the numerical value, we need to multiply these two values together. Let's do the calculation:
Power = 167.757
Therefore, the power supplied by this force is approximately 167.757 watts.
