Power - The rate at which work is done • power = work/time = Fv • F = Force to move something • v = Velocity it is moving • A person does 145 J of work in 20.0 s. What is power output? • power = work/time = (145 J)/(20.0 s) = 7.25 J/s • = 7.25 Watts = 7.25 W • 1 horsepower = 745.7 Watts, 1 kW = 1000 Watts
Power - The rate at which work is done • power = work/time = Fv • F = Force to move something • v = Velocity it is moving power = work/time = (Fs)/t = F(s/t) = Fv My 30. HP van could go 25 m/s top speed. What was the force resisting its motion? 1 horsepower = 745.7 Watts, 1 kW = 1000 Watts power = (30 HP)(745.7 Watt/HP) = 22,371 W power = Fv 22,371 W = F(25 m/s), F = 890 N
