Power is the rate of doing work. It tells us how fast work
is being done. Power is important in order to establish
the “speed” with which a given force acts.
The formula for power is:
Velocity
Where: P = power in watts (W)
F = force in newtons (N)
t = time in seconds (s)
v = velocity in m/s

A 20 kg object is pushed 15 m along a horizontal frictionless
surface by a horizontal force of 8 N. If the work was done in
a time of 12 s, calculate:
a) The work done.
b) The power output.
120 J
10 W
c) What becomes of the work done?
It is lost to overcome friction
(in the form of heat and sound)
Note that we assume the object is moved at constant velocity.

A 2 000 kg elevator is raised a distance of 18 m in a time of 40 s.
Determine:
a) The work done.
3.6 x 105 J
b) The rate of doing work.
9 x 103 W
c) What becomes of the work done?
It is gained by the elevator in the form of potential energy.

Betty uses the hoist illustrated on the right
to raise a mass of 200 kg.
If she can pull the rope 5.0 metres in a time
of 10 seconds, what is Betty’s power output?
Note: Disregard friction.
A) 17.0 W
I.M.A. = 6 (6 ropes)
B) 100 W
C) 163 W
D) 980 W
