The power expended doing 100 J of work in 50 s is Group of answer choices5000 W0.5 W2 W50 W

1. ### Break Down the Problem

We need to calculate power using the formula: $\text{Power} (P) = \frac{\text{Work} (W)}{\text{Time} (t)}$ Given values are:

• Work $W = 100 \, \text{J}$
• Time $t = 50 \, \text{s}$

2. ### Relevant Concepts

We will apply the formula for power, which states that power is the rate at which work is done.

3. ### Analysis and Detail

Substituting the given values into the power formula: $P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{100 \, \text{J}}{50 \, \text{s}} = 2 \, \text{W}$

4. ### Verify and Summarize

We calculated the power and found that it equals $2 \, \text{W}$. No further calculations are needed since the problem is straightforward.

Final Answer

The power expended is $2 \, \text{W}$.
