Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around two multiple-choice questions related to kinetic energy and work, specifically involving a 50-N force acting on a 2-kg object. Participants are exploring how to calculate power in different scenarios where the object starts from rest.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to apply equations for power but expresses confusion due to missing information about distance and velocity in the problems. Some participants suggest calculating distance based on the force acting on the object.

Discussion Status

One participant has indicated that they have resolved the first question but are still seeking assistance with the second. There is an ongoing exploration of the problem setup and the implications of the given force.

Contextual Notes

The original poster questions whether the force is acting horizontally or vertically, indicating a potential ambiguity in the problem setup. Additionally, there is curiosity about the other multiple-choice options provided for each question.

Homework Statement


hi guys how are you?? ,, there are 2 MC (Multiple choices question)
1- A 50-N force is the only force on a 2-kg object that starts from rest. When the force has been acting for 2 s the rate at which it is doing work is:(Ans:2500W)

2-A 50-N force is the only force a 2-kg crate that starts from rest. At the instant the object has gone 2m the rate at which the force is doing work is:(Ans:500W)

The Attempt at a Solution


i tried several ways but the problem is i know only 2 equations about power
one is P=W/t and P=Fv ,, in problem 1 there is no distance and in 2 there is no velocity, i didn't understand the questions in the first place(cant imagine it) ,, is the force acting horizontally or vertically ,, can anyone help me please before the exam,,

For the first one, you can calculate the distance based on the information given. Note that the object is in something like freefall, since the 50N force is the only thing acting on it.
 
thanks ,, first one solved :) ,, still with the second...

Just curious what the other multiple choices were.
