Answer:
Power;P = 1372000 W
Explanation:
We are given;
Mass of person;m = 800 kg
Distance sprinted;h = 700m
Time taken;t = 4 seconds
Now, the formula for Power is;
Power = Work done/Time taken
Where work done = Force x Distance
Now, Force is expressed as;
F = mg
Where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
Thus, plugging in the relevant values into power equation gives;
Power;P = 800 x 9.8 x 700/4
Power;P = 1372000 W
