Work and Power In Physics


Work Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object. The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object (W = F * d). Example: A force of 10 newtons, that moves an object 3 meters, does 30 Nm of work.


Power Power is the rate of doing work. It is the amount of energy consumed or work done per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalar quantity. In the SI system, the unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt in honour of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the steam engine.
