A block of mass 5 kg starting from rest pulled up on a smooth incline plane making an angle of 30∘ with horizontal with an affective acceleration of 1 ms−2. What is the power delivered by the pulling force at t = 10 s from the start?
Answer:
Pathway that lead to answer 50 W
1. Power = Force x Velocity
2. V = u + at = 0 + (10 × 1) = 10 m/s
3. F = ma = 5 × 1 = 5 - Step with Mistake
4. Power = 50
Pathway that lead to answer 25 W
1. P = W / t
2. W = F s
3. s = ut + 1/2at^2 = 50
4. F = ma = 5
5. W = 250
6. P = 25 W
