00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.223
Here is the problem: A motor does 800 J of work in 16 s. What is its power?

2
00:00:06.673 --> 00:00:11.073
Use the power formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:11.873 --> 00:00:13.289
Formula: power.

4
00:00:13.739 --> 00:00:15.713
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:16.513 --> 00:00:20.217
So the answer is power P equals 50 W.

6
00:00:20.667 --> 00:00:27.993
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
00:00:28.793 --> 00:00:34.598
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
