00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.956
Here is the problem: A motor does 9000 J of work in 30 s. What is its power?

2
00:00:06.406 --> 00:00:11.108
Use the power formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:11.908 --> 00:00:13.429
Formula: power.

4
00:00:13.879 --> 00:00:15.806
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:16.606 --> 00:00:20.635
So the answer is power P equals 300 W.

6
00:00:21.085 --> 00:00:28.376
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
00:00:29.176 --> 00:00:34.749
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
