Answer:
Power = 1600Watts
Explanation:
Power is given by the rate of energy expended or work done by a body (or object).
Power = [tex]\frac{Workdone}{time}[/tex]
Where;
Workdone = Force x distance
=> Power = Force x distance / time -----------------------(i)
According to the question,
Force = 8000N
distance = 4m
time = 20 s
Substitute these values into equation (i) above
=> Power = 8000 x 4 / 20
=> Power = 1600Watts
Therefore the power of the tow truck is 1600Watts
