The formula for work done is
W = Fd
The formula for power is
P = W/t
Work done is calculated as the product of force and
distance
Work done is measured in joules, which are derived from newtons and
meters
Match the term with its unit:
Power ↔️ Watts
Work done ↔️ Joules
Time ↔️ Seconds
What is the unit of power?
Watts
The units of power are Watts because they represent Joules per
second
.

What is distance measured in?
Meters
Why is the unit of power Watts?
Joules per second
Work done is measured in
Joules
Power is calculated using the formula
Work
/Time.
What is the unit of measurement for work done?
Joules
Watts measure the rate of
energy transfer
or work done per unit of time.
What is the definition of work done in physics?
Energy transferred by force
What is the definition of power in physics?
Rate of energy transfer
What is the relationship between work done and power?
Power is work done per time
Why are the units of work done in joules?
Force in newtons times distance in meters
If 50 J of work is done in 10 seconds, what is the power?

The power formula allows us to determine the rate at which energy is being transferred or work is being
done
Work done is the energy transferred when a force moves an object a certain
distance
What is force measured in?
Newtons
Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is
transferred
What is the unit of measurement for power?
Watts
If a motor does 300 J of work in 6 seconds, what is its power?
50 W
Power is the
rate of change
of work done over time.
If 50 J of work is done in 10 seconds, what is the power?
5 W
The units of work done are
joules
.
The units of power are
watts
.
The work done by a force of 10 N moving an object 5 m is
50 J
.
Power is measured in
watts
.
Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is
transferred
Match the term with its unit:
Work done ↔️ Joules
Time ↔️ Seconds
What does one Watt represent in terms of energy and time?
1 Joule per second
What is the unit of work done?
Joules
One Joule is equivalent to one
Newton
meter.
Power
measures how quickly energy is used.
Time is measured in
seconds
.
