What is the power of a 300 n force applied over 20 m fro 20 sec? What is the horsepower?
To calculate power, we need to use the formula: Power = Force x Distance / Time.
In this case, the force is given as 300 Newtons, the distance is 20 meters, and the time is 20 seconds.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get: Power = 300 N x 20 m / 20 s.
Simplifying, we have: Power = 300 N x 1 m/s = 300 Watts.
So, the power of a 300 N force applied over 20 m for 20 s is 300 Watts.
To convert Watts to horsepower, we need to use the conversion factor: 1 horsepower = 746 Watts.
Dividing the power in Watts by 746, we get: Power in horsepower = 300 Watts / 746.
Calculating this, we find that the power in horsepower is approximately 0.402 horsepower.
Therefore, the power of a 300 N force applied over 20 m for 20 sec is 300 Watts (or approximately 0.402 horsepower).
