Limosa

Answer:

360 W.

Explanation:

[tex]The\;formula\;to\;find\;the\;Power\;is: P=Fv[/tex]

In which,

P = Power.

F = Force.

v = velocity.

So, we have to apply values in the formula.

         [tex]P=Fv[/tex]

         [tex]F=10\times(10+2)N[/tex]

         [tex]F=120N[/tex]

         [tex]v=3\;m/s\;that\;is\;already\;given[/tex]

[tex]Then,\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;P=120\times3=360W[/tex]

So, the following answer is correct according to the explanation.
