The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The instantaneous power is given by the formula:
\[
P = F \cdot v
\]
where \( F \) is the force and \( v \) is the velocity. Substituting the given values:
\[
P = 500 \, \text{N} \times 20 \, \text{m/s} = 10,000 \, \text{W}
\]

- A body of mass \(4\) kg is placed at a point \(P\) having coordinates \( (3,4) \) m. Under the action of force \( \mathbf{F} = (2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) \) N, it moves to a new point \(Q\) having coordinates \( (6,10) \) m in \(4\) sec. The average power and instantaneous power at the end of \(4\) sec are in the ratio:
