Here's why:

* Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.

* Work is done when a force moves an object over a distance.

* Therefore, power is directly related to both force and the rate at which it moves an object (which is related to distance and time).

Formula for Power:

Power (P) = Work (W) / Time (t)

Since work (W) = Force (F) * Distance (d), we can also express power as:

Power (P) = (Force (F) * Distance (d)) / Time (t)

Example:

If you lift a 10 kg weight (force = 98 Newtons) a distance of 2 meters in 5 seconds, the power output is:

Power = (98 Newtons * 2 meters) / 5 seconds = 39.2 Watts
