Energy, work and power — practice question

A crate is pushed in a straight line across a horizontal surface by a force of magnitude $25\text{ N}$ acting at $20^\circ$ above the horizontal. Over $8$ seconds, the crate travels $12\text{ m}$ at constant speed.
(a)[1]

Find the crate’s constant speed.

(b)[2]

Find the work done by the $25\text{ N}$ force.

(c)[1]

Find the power at which the $25\text{ N}$ force is working.
