Understanding the Concepts

* Power: The rate at which work is done. It's measured in watts (W).

* Work: The force applied over a distance. It's measured in joules (J).

* Force: A push or pull that can change the motion of an object. Measured in newtons (N).

* Distance: The length of the path traveled by an object. Measured in meters (m).

* Time: The duration of an event. Measured in seconds (s).

Formula

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

And since Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)

We can combine these equations to get:

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

Calculation

* Force (F) = 1 N

* Distance (d) = 2 m

* Time (t) = 1 s

Power (P) = (1 N x 2 m) / 1 s = 2 W

Answer: You expend 2 watts of power.
