Energy conservation — practice question

A body with a weight of $15.0\,\text{N}$ is dragged across a horizontal surface at a steady speed of $2.00\,\text{m s}^{-1}$. The pulling force on the body is $12.0\,\text{N}$ at an angle of $30.0^\circ$ to the horizontal, as illustrated. What is the power used to move the body?

  • A$12.0\,\text{W}$
  • B$20.8\,\text{W}$
  • C$24.0\,\text{W}$
  • D$30.0\,\text{W}$
