Answer ! if you exert 20 newtons of force to move a box 8 meters across the living room in 2 seconds what is your power?

Power, P = 80 watts

Explanation:

Given,

The force acting on the box, F = 20 N

The displacement of the box, s = 8 m

The time taken by the box to cover the distance is, t = 2 s

The work done on the box is given by the formula,

                                       W = F x S

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                        W = 20 x 8

                                            = 160 J

The rate of doing work is defined as the power,

                                         P = W / t

                                            = 160 / 2

                                            = 80 watts

Hence, the power is, P = 80 watts.

the focus of lesson 1 is newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. newton's first law of motion is often stated as. an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
