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.
