The power is #=756W#

The mass of the object is #m=5kg#

The speed is #u=7ms^-1#

The acceleration is #a=2ms^-2#

The coefficient of kinetic friction is

#mu_k=F_r/N=2#

The normal force is #N=5gN#

The frictional force is #F_r=mu_k xx N=2*5g=10gN#

The force necessary to accelerate the object is #=FN#

The acceleration due to gravity is #g=9.8ms^-2#

#F-F_r=ma#

#F=ma+F_r=((5xx2)+(10g))N=108N#

The power is

#P=Fxxv=108*7=756W#
