For a positive integer value n, "to the power of" n means the number multiplied by itself n times. "To the power of n" is also defined for negative, rational, irrational and complex n, but all that is not required now.
So 5 to the power of 9 is 5*5*5*5*5*5*5*5*5 [that is, 9 lots of 5]. This is normally written as 59
So 59 = 5*5*5*5*5*5*5*5*5 = 25*5*5*5*5*5*5*5 = 125*5*5*5*5*5*5 = 625*5*5*5*5*5 = 3125*5*5*5*5 = 15625*5*5*5 = 78125*5*5 = 390625*5 and that is 1953125.

What is 2 to the fifth power all raised to something equals 64?
Did you mean find n where (2^5)^n = 64? (Sorry - the superscript symbol won't work!) I think that would need logarithms to calculate, because 2^5 = 32. Or did you mean find the power of 2 that = 64?
What determines when work is being done on an object?
work is scientifically defined by power. so we can conclude that work can be determined on an object by if it has energy, or inertia. for example say i pushed a box, i would be transferring my energy to the box, and using my power which would mean i am doing work to the box.
