If the force and the velocity on a system are each reduced simultaneously by half, the power of the system is
A
doubled
B
reduced to a quarter
C
reduced by half
D
constant
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The Relation between Power, Force and Velocity is given by the relation:
P = F.V , this power is the product of force and velocity.
Therefore, The power of the system is reduced to one-quarter of its original value when both the force and the velocity are reduced by half.
