A body is pulled through a distance of 500m by a force of 20N. If the power developed is 0.4kW, calculate the time for which the force acts
A
250.0s
B
25.0s
C
2.5s
D
0.5s
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Force x Distance = Power x Time
Time = \(\frac{Force \times Distance}{Power}\)
= \(\frac{20 \times 500}{0.4 \times 1000}\)
= 25.0s
