  • Calculating Power: Force, Distance, and Time - A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the power:

    Understanding the Concepts

    * Work: Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. It's calculated as: Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)

    * Power: Power is the rate at which work is done. It's calculated as: Power (P) = Work (W) / Time (t)

    Calculation

    1. Calculate the work done:

    * Work (W) = 6 N * 2 m = 12 Joules (J)

    2. Calculate the power:

    * Power (P) = 12 J / 3 s = 4 Watts (W)

    Answer: 4 watts of power are expended.
