Answer

The instantaneous power at the end of the three second interval is $~~66.7~W$

Work Step by Step

We can find the acceleration: $v_f = v_i+at$ $a = \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$ $a = \frac{10~m/s-0}{3.0~s}$ $a = 3.333~m/s^2$ We can find the magnitude of the force: $F = ma$ $F = (2.0~kg)(3.333~m/s^2)$ $F = 6.67~N$ We can find the instantaneous power at the end of the three second interval: $P = F~v$ $P = (6.67~N)(10~m/s)$ $P = 66.7~W$ The instantaneous power at the end of the three second interval is $~~66.7~W$
