You are the captain of a pirate ship and wish to find out how strong a new first mate is at rowing treasure from shore to the ship. It takes him 4 minutes (240 s) to row the treasure with a constant force of 500 N. What power does the pirate supply?

Respuesta :

The formula that is usually used for the calculation of power is the product of force applied and the speed at which the action is done. That is,
                                     P = Fv
We let d be the distance covered and the equation for power would be,
                                     P = (500 N)(d/240 s)
                                     P = 2.08d
