00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.827
Here is the problem: A motor does 2400 J of work in 8 s. What is its power?

2
00:00:07.277 --> 00:00:11.619
Use the power formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:12.419 --> 00:00:13.905
Formula: power.

4
00:00:14.355 --> 00:00:16.294
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:17.094 --> 00:00:20.925
So the answer is power P equals 300 W.

6
00:00:21.375 --> 00:00:28.771
Power is the rate of doing work: one watt is one joule per second. The same work done in half the time needs twice the power.

7
00:00:29.571 --> 00:00:35.225
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
