The correct answer is: 25 W

Given, force, F=5 N

Mass, m=500 g=5×10-1 kg

Displacement, s=5 m

Work done is given by W=F·s=Fscosθ

Let's assume the angle between force and displacement to be zero. Then work will be,

W=Fs=5×5=25 J

Let the time taken to travel the displacement of 5 m be t s.
Applying Newton's second law of motion,

F=ma

a=55×10-1a=10 m s-2

From the third equation of motion,

s=ut+12at2

5=0+12×10t2,           initial velocity, u=0

t=1 s

The average power is given by

Pavg=Total worktotal time taken=251=25 W
