  • Power Calculation: Work, Force, and Energy - Physics Explained
    Here's how to calculate the power expended:

    Understanding the Concepts

    * Work: The work done on an object is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. (Work = Force × Distance)

    * Power: Power is the rate at which work is done. (Power = Work / Time)

    Calculations

    1. Calculate the work done:

    * Force = 100 N (Newtons)

    * Distance = 2 m (meters)

    * Work = 100 N × 2 m = 200 Joules (J)

    2. Calculate the power:

    * Work = 200 J

    * Time = 1.0 s (seconds)

    * Power = 200 J / 1.0 s = 200 Watts (W)

    Answer: The power expended is 200 Watts.
