    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)

    Power in mechanical systems is the combination of forces and movement. In particular, power is the product of a force on an object and the object's velocity, or the product of a torque on a shaft and the shaft's angular velocity. Mechanical power is also described as the time derivative of work.

  3. We can define power as the rate of doing work, it is the work done in unit time. The SI unit of power is Watt (W) which is joules per second (J/s). Sometimes the power of motor vehicles and other machines is given in terms of Horsepower (hp), which is approximately equal to 745.7 watts.

  4. Power is the rate at which work is done or the rate at which energy is transfered from one place to another or transformed from one type to another. The symbol for power is an italicized, uppercase P. P =. ∆ W.

    Power, in science and engineering, time rate of doing work or delivering energy, expressible as the amount of work done W, or energy transferred, divided by the time interval t—or W/t. A given amount of work can be done by a low-powered motor in a long time or by a high-powered motor in a short.

    Power is the rate at which work is done. It is the work/time ratio. Mathematically, it is computed using the following equation. Power = Work / time. or. P = W / t. The standard metric unit of power is the Watt. As is implied by the equation for power, a unit of power is equivalent to a unit of work divided by a unit of time.

    Power is the rate at which work is done, or in equation form, for the average power \(P\) for work \(W\) done over a time \(t\), \(P = W/t\). The SI unit for power is the watt (W), where \(1 \space W …

    Power is defined as the rate of doing work, or the limit of the average power for time intervals approaching zero, \[P = \frac{dW}{dt} \ldotp \label{7.11}\] If the power is constant over a time interval, the average power for that interval equals the instantaneous power, and the work done by the agent supplying the power is

  9. In physics, power (symbol: P) is how fast work is done or energy is given from one thing to another. In the SI system of measurement, power is measured in watts (symbol: W). It may take a certain amount of work to make a change in the world, such as lifting a heavy weight to a higher level.

    In physics, power is the rate of doing work. It is the amount of energy consumed per unit time. The unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt (in honor of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the steam engine).

    Power is the rate of doing work or the amount of energy consumed over an interval of time. A Mathematical Model. When a force is applied over a distance in a unit of time, power is calculated by [math]\displaystyle{ power = \frac{F \Delta r}{\Delta t} = \frac{W}{\Delta t} }[/math]
