A force of 48 N pushes a 2 kg object initially at rest a distance of 3m along frictionless horizontally surface. Find:

A- The work done on the object.
B- The power of the applied force.

work=force*distance

Vf^2=2 a *d= 2 (48/2)*3
or Vf=12 m/s

avg velocity= 6m/s

power= force*d/time=force*avg velocity

To find the answers, we can use the following formulas:

1. Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)
2. Power (P) = Work (W) / Time (t)

Let's calculate the answers step by step:

A. To find the work done on the object:
1. Plug in the values into the formula: W = F x d
W = 48 N x 3 m
2. Calculate the result: W = 144 Joules

Therefore, the work done on the object is 144 Joules.

B. To find the power of the applied force:
1. We need to know the time it takes to move the object.
However, the given information does not include the time.
2. Since power is calculated as work divided by time, we cannot find the power with the provided information.

Therefore, we cannot determine the power of the applied force without knowing the time taken to move the object.
