Energy, Work And Power Continued
Overview
Two cranes can lift the same load to the same height, yet one finishes in seconds and the other takes a minute. They do the same work but the fast one has more power. Power is the rate of doing work, and it is what separates a sprinter from a stroller and a sports car from a scooter.
In this short but important lesson you will define power precisely, learn its two equivalent equations, and calculate it from work done or energy transferred over time. Every answer here is a number with the unit watt, so getting the substitution and units right is the whole game.
Objectives
- Define power as work done per unit time and also as energy transferred per unit time; recall and use the equations W (a) P = t ∆E (b) P = t
