What is needed calculate power?

• work

• time

• mass

• distance

Two workers use 100 N of force to move a sofa 2 meters in 2 seconds. How much power is required?

• 100 watts

• 400 watts

• 104 watts

• 50 watts

For work to be done on an object,

• some force need only be exerted on the object.

• the object must move some distance as a result of a force.

• the object must move, whether or not a force is exerted on it.

• the object must not move.

If 150 Joules of work is needed to move a box 10 meters, what force was used? 

• 1500 N
• 15 N
• 1.5 N
• 150 N
