Homework Statement



A single force F of 4.7 N acts in the x direction on a 7.1 kg object.

(a) If the object starts from rest at x = 0 at time t = 0, write an expression for the power delivered by this force as a function of time. (Use F for the force F, m for mass m of the object, and t for time t as necessary.)


Quite simply, I don't even know where to begin. Can anyone give me a nudge? I have a list of equations involving force, work, and power, but I don't know which of those to use...

Since you are asked to find power, what equation(s) do you know that involve force and power? Start from there.
