Solution

The correct option is A 1000 W
Given, mass of ball m=5 kg
Gravitational force on the ball;

F=mg=5×10=50 N

Instantaneous power P =Fvcosθ

To find v: since a is constant
we use, v=u+atv=gt=10×2=20 m/s

P=(50)(20)cos 0
(as F and v are in same direction)
P=1000 W

Hence option A is the correct answer
