What is the power of a 300 n force applied over 20 m fro 20 sec? What is the horsepower?
To calculate the power in this scenario, we can use the formula:
Power = Force x Distance / Time
Given that the force is 300 N, the distance is 20 m, and the time is 20 sec, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Power = 300 N x 20 m / 20 sec
Simplifying the equation, we can cancel out the units of "m" and "sec":
Power = 300 N x 1 m / 1 sec
Finally, we find that the power is 300 watts (W).
To convert watts to horsepower, we can use the conversion factor:
1 horsepower (HP) = 746 watts (W)
So, to find the equivalent horsepower, we divide the power by 746:
Horsepower = Power / 746
Using the value we found for power:
Horsepower = 300 W / 746
Calculating this, we get approximately 0.402 HP.
