Work and Power reading

What is mechanical work defined as in physics?

• The amount of force applied over a distance

• The speed of an object in motion

• The temperature of an object

• The color of an object

Work and power are fundamental concepts in physics that play a significant role in understanding motion and energy transfer. What is the term that fills in the blank: Work and ______?

What is power in physics?

• The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, measured in watts.

• The force applied to an object over a distance.

• The amount of energy stored in an object.

• The speed at which an object moves.

Why is understanding the power formula crucial in fields like engineering and physics?

• To calculate the efficiency of a system

• To determine the rate at which work is done

• To measure the amount of energy transferred per unit time

• To analyze the force applied to an object
