Answer:

25N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power of the motor = 125W

Average speed  = 5m/s

Unknown:

Force supplied to the motor = ?

Solution:

 Work done is the force applied to move a body through a particular distance;

         Work done  = Force x distance

Also,

        Work done  = Power x time

 

So;

             Force x distance = Power  x time

  since force is the unknown;

            Force  = [tex]\frac{Power x time}{distance}[/tex]

         Speed  = [tex]\frac{distance }{time}[/tex]

             Force  = [tex]\frac{Power}{speed}[/tex]

Now solve;

                Force  = [tex]\frac{125}{5}[/tex]    = 25N
