# A motor is used to lift a crate vertically at varying speeds. The power \(P\) delivered by the motor as a function of time \(t\) is shown in the graph. What is the total work done by the motor on the crate during the \(10 \text{ s}\) interval?

A motor is used to lift a crate vertically at varying speeds. The power \(P\) delivered by the motor as a function of time \(t\) is shown in the graph. What is the total work done by the motor on the crate during the \(10 \text{ s}\) interval?

![A graph of Power P in Watts versus time t in seconds. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 250 in increments of 50. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 10 in increments of 2. The graph consists of three line segments: a linear increase from (0,0) to (4,200), a horizontal segment from (4,8) at a constant value of 200, and a linear decrease from (8,200) to (10,0).](https://nerd-notes.com/wp-content/uploads/ubq-frq-generated/stem-fig-1-1777583118-tQSa4y.jpg)

- **A.** \(800 \text{ J}\)
- **B.** \(1000 \text{ J}\)
- **C.** \(1400 \text{ J}\)
- **D.** \(2000 \text{ J}\)
