Homework Statement
A sled is being pulled along a horizontal surface by a horizontal force F of magnitude 600 N. Starting from rest, the sled speeds up with acceleration 0.08 m/s^2 for 1 minute.
Find the average power P created by force F.
Homework Equations
P = Fs/T
The Attempt at a Solution
So I need to first find displacement of movement. If y = .08x^2, then at 60 seconds y = 288 ... so displacement is 288 right?
The force is 600 N
so since P = Fs/T, then (600*288)/60 should be my answer right? Also would this answer be in watts? I know that 1 joule/second = 1 watt.
