Average and Instantaneous Power Example

The video tutorial explores the calculation of power delivered by gravity to a pumpkin dropped from a height. It covers the setup of equations for power, differentiating between average and instantaneous power, and solving for these values at different points during the fall. The tutorial concludes with a suggestion to graph the results in a future session.
