Power equals force times velocity, so the force is 3,000 W divided by 5 m/s, which is 600 N. Power is the rate of doing work: P = W/t. Work is force times distance, W = F × d, so P = F × d/t, and since d/t is the…

In this last stage both the birth rate and the death rate are low, so the population grows very slowly or stays almost steady.

It is the deepest landlocked and well-protected port on India's east coast. Visakhapatnam port in Andhra Pradesh lies in a natural harbour cut into the land, sheltered by the Dolphin's Nose headland, which protects ships from the waves of the Bay of Bengal.
