Question

Abhay exerts a force of 150 N in pulling a cart with a constant speed of 10 ms⁻¹. Calculate the power applied on cart.

Answer 1

Given: Force (F) = 150 N

Speed (v) = 10 ms⁻¹

Since the force and motion are in the same direction,

Power (P) = F × v

= 150 × 10

= 1500 W

Therefore, the power applied on the cart is 1500 W (1.5 kW).
