The power of the engine is 320 W.
Explanation:
Power may be defined as the rate of doing work (or) work done per unit time. One unit of energy is used to do the one unit of work.
Power = Work done / Time taken
Given, Force = 80 N, height = 5 m , final velocity = 4 m/s
To calculate the power, we must know the time taken.
To find the time, use the distance and speed formula which is given by
Time = Distance / speed
Here distance = 5 m and speed = 4 m/s
Time = 5 / 4 = 1.25 s.
Now, Power = work done / time
= (F * d) / t = (80 * 5) / 1.25
Power = 320 W.
The standard unit of power is watt (W) which is joule per second.
