  1. Definition of work:  A joule is the amount of work done when a force of one Newton is applied through a distance of one meter.

    So, (65 N)(1.2 m) = your answer in joules since a joule is N-m.

    Power = Energy/Time, or Power = Work/Time. Because work and energy are measured in joules and time is measured in seconds power is measured in joules per second. One joule per second is defined as one watt.

    So, 180 J/ 2.4 s = your answer for power in J/s.


  2. 1 joule = Nm

    So, when N = 65 and m = 1.2,

    joules = 65 * 1.2  = 78 J

    Therefore, Answer 1 = 78 joules

    power = work done/time

    Here, work done is 180J and time is 2.4 seconds,

    So, power = 180/2.4 = 75 W

    Therefore answer2 = 75 W
