00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.815
Here is the problem: A motor does 450 J of work in 1.5 s. What is its power?

2
00:00:07.265 --> 00:00:11.746
Use the power formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:12.546 --> 00:00:14.079
Formula: power.

4
00:00:14.528 --> 00:00:16.525
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:17.325 --> 00:00:21.145
So the answer is power P equals 300 W.

6
00:00:21.595 --> 00:00:28.944
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
00:00:29.744 --> 00:00:35.514
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
