The formula for work is

• Work = force x distance

• Work = power x distance

• Work = force x time

• Work = power x time

Work is measured in

• Joules

• Newtons

• Watts

• Watts Joules

The rate at which one form of energy is transformed into another.

• energy

• work

• force

• power

The formula for power is

• Power = Force x time/work

• Power = Force x distance/time

• Power = Work x time

• Power = Work x distance

Power is measure in

• Joules

• Watts

• Newton-meters

• Joules-meters
