A body weighing 5 kg descends evenly by 5 m in 5 s. what is the power generated by gravity?

To calculate the power developed by the force of gravity with a uniform descent of a given body, we use the formula: N = At / t = m * g * h / t.

Constants and variables: m – mass of the descent body (m = 5 kg); g – acceleration due to gravity (g ≈ 10 m / s2); h – change in height (distance traveled, h = 5 m); t – elapsed time (t = 5 s).

Calculation: N = m * g * h / t = 5 * 10 * 5/5 = 50 W.

Answer: Gravity has developed a power of 50 watts.
