Work and Power

Question 2 • GA-GSE Physical Science B

Den pushes a desk 400 cm across the floor. He exerts a force of 10 N for 8 s to move the desk.What is his power output? (Power: P = W/t)

Answer
A
1.25 W
B
5 W
C
40 W
D
500 W

Explanation

Convert the distance to meters: 400 cm = 4 m. The work done is force times distance, so W = 10 N × 4 m = 40 J. Power is work divided by time: P = 40 J ÷ 8 s = 5 W, so the correct choice is 5 W.
