Answer:
1440 W
Explanation:
First of all, we can find the total displacement of the sled, which is given by
[tex]d=\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
where
a = 0.08 m/s^2 is the acceleration
t = 1 min = 60 s is the time
Substituting,
[tex]d=\frac{1}{2}(0.08 m/s^2)(60 s)^2=144 m[/tex]
Now we can find the wotk done on the sled, equal to the product between force and displacement:
[tex]W=Fd=(600 N)(144 m)=86,400 J[/tex]
And finally we can fidn the average power, which is the ratio between the work done and the time taken:
[tex]P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{86,400 J}{60 s}=1440 W[/tex]
