Answer

$P = 5.0~W$

Work Step by Step

We can find the acceleration: $F = ma$ $a = \frac{F}{m}$ $a = \frac{5.0~N}{15~kg}$ $a = 0.333~m/s^2$ We can find the velocity at the end of the third second: $v = 0+(0.333~m/s^2)(3.0~s)$ $v = 1.0~m/s$ We can find the power: $P = F~v$ $P = (5.0~N)(1.0~m/s)$ $P = 5.0~W$
