Question:

Power exerted by an object moving in a straight line is equal to Force multiplied by ______.

Options:

Displacement

Velocity

Work

Acceleration

Correct Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. Velocity.

Power exerted by an object moving in a straight line is equal to Force multiplied by Velocity.

The formula for power (\(P\)) is given by the product of force (\(F\)) and velocity (\(v\)):

\[ P = F \times v \]

This equation represents the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred by the object. It states that the power exerted is equal to the force applied multiplied by the velocity of the object. Therefore, velocity is the factor multiplied by force to determine the power exerted by the object moving in a straight line.
