Answer:

1watt

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Time = 10s

Distance = 5m

Force = 2N

Unknown:

Power = ?

Solution:

Power is defined as the rate at which work is being done by a body.

Power =
(Work done )/(time )

Work done = Force x distance = 2 x 5 = 10J

So;

Power =
(10)/(10) = 1watt
