Graphing Instantaneous Power

The video tutorial explores the concept of instantaneous power delivered by gravity to a pumpkin dropped from a height. It examines whether the power as a function of time and position is linear. The tutorial uses physics equations to determine the linearity of these relationships, concluding that power as a function of time is linear, while power as a function of position requires squaring to achieve linearity. The session includes problem-solving and equation manipulation to illustrate these concepts.

Discuss the significance of the cosine of the angle theta in the context of the power equation.
