Refer to a situation where you exert a force F on a crate of mass M, moving it at a speed v a distance d across a floor in a time interval t. The quantity F d/t is? a.) kinetic energy of the crate
b.) potential energy of the crate
c.) linear momentum of the crate
d.) work you do on the crate
e.) power you supply to the crate

e.) power you supply to the crate

Explanation:

According to given data, we have:

F = Force exerted on the crate

M = Mass of the crate

v = Speed of motion of the crate

d = Distance traveled by the crate across the floor

t = Time interval passed

Now, we try to analyze the given quantity:

=> F d/t

=> (Force)(Displacement)/(Time)

but, (Force)(Displacement) = Work Done

Therefore,

=> Work Done/Time

but, Work Done/Time = Power

Therefore,

=> Power

Hence, the quantity F d/t is:

e.) power you supply to the crate

a and b sometimes have a positive value

the answer is b i think
