The relationship between power (P), force (F), and velocity (v) when the force is applied in the direction of motion is given by the formula P = F * v.
– Given Power (P) = 3000 watts.
– Given velocity (v) = 5 m/s.
– We need to find the force (F).
– Rearranging the formula, F = P / v.
– Substituting the given values, F = 3000 W / 5 m/s = 600 N.
– Therefore, the force applied to the snowboard was 600 Newtons.
