    power P = F*V = 450/3.6*80 = 10,000 watt

    work = 15*60*P/1000 = 9,000 kjoule...or 9.00 Mjoule

    work = force x distance

    distance = 80 km/hr x (1/4) hr = 20 km = 20000 m

    work = 450 x 20000 = 9000000 J = 9 MJ

    power = joules per second

    P = 9 MJ / (15 min x 60s/min) = 10 kW
