SUMMARY
The power exerted by a force of 1000 N on a car traveling at 30 m/s is calculated using the formula Power = Force × Velocity. By substituting the values, Power = 1000 N × 30 m/s results in a power output of 30,000 Watts (or 30 kW). This calculation assumes that the force and speed are in the same direction, and all values are treated as positive. The discussion confirms the relationship between force, velocity, and power in a straightforward manner.
