Power using Derivative and Unit Vectors - Example

The video tutorial explores a physics problem involving a 0.280 kg object with a position function dependent on time. The task is to determine the net power delivered to the object at 2 seconds. The tutorial covers the derivation of velocity and net force as functions of time, using Newton's second law and unit vectors. It explains the calculation of instantaneous power and provides an alternative method without unit vectors. The concept of negative net power is discussed, indicating energy removal and object deceleration. The tutorial concludes with a review of nonuniform acceleration and its implications.
