Answer:

The power of horse is:  P = 72000 W

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • F = 1800 N
  • v = 40.0 m/s

To determine

P = ?

Using the formula

[tex]\:\:\:P=\overrightarrow{F\cdot }\overrightarrow{v}[/tex]

The  ⋅  in the formula represents a scalar product, defined by:

[tex]\overrightarrow{v\cdot }\overrightarrow{w}=|v||w|cos\:\theta[/tex]

The angle Ф is zero because F and v are are parallel.

Thus the cosine is 1.

Therefore,

P = (1800) (40.0)

P = 72000 W

Hence, the power of horse is:  P = 72000 W
