Question

You drag your 30 kg suitcase 1200 m thru the Chicago airport at essentially constant velocity 2.0 m/s, by pulling its handle 90 N mostly upward, but 20° Westward. Which of the following represents the average power you provided to the suitcase? 

O 36 940 Joule
some negative amount (West is negative)
O 36 000 Joule
60 Joule
O 101 490 Joule
O 108 000 Joule
O 72 000 Joule
impossible to pull 30 kg that far with only 90 N
zero (0) since constant velocity
