What is the power output of a person who exerts a force of 50 N to push a box 2 meters in 5 seconds?
To calculate the power output, we first need to determine the work done by the person and then use the formula for power.
1. Calculate the work done (W):
Work is given by the formula:
Since the force is applied in the direction of the displacement, .
Therefore, the formula simplifies to:
