Power and Energy
Can someone help me with this problem? Thanks inadvance.
Skid is dragged kicking and screaming to Mike's Physics class. A force of 100 N is applied to Skid over a distance 50 m. If it takes 5 mins to do this, what is the power required? Must use energy methods to solve the problem
P = F d/t so first I tried plug in the values ? (50)/60 secs so I looking for F but what is F in this case. And how do I use energy methods in this case. Thanks again!!!!!!!!

Well, you have probly done this already but I think they want you to consider the fact that Skid is traveling with a constant velocity(speed) ,as Power = Force X Velocity
