Best Answer

-- Magnitude of the force (or force as a function of time)

-- Distance through which it acted (or position as a function of time)

-- Duration of the time during which it persisted

Work is the product of (force) x (total distance).

Power is (work) divided by (duration of the time).

If the force and distance are functions of time, then I'm not sure how to do it right now,

but I know there's an integral in there somewhere, and I'm not happy about that.

When you calculate power what do you multiply it by?

If you know the power you do not need to calculate it by anything. And if you don't, the answer will depend on what measure you do know!


How many watts are in 19.5 volts?

Impossible to know. You need to know both the voltage and current draw to calculate power (watts). Power in watts = Volts X Amps


When describing how and power and work are similar you would want to mention that?

you must know time to determine both work and power


How do you calculate the length of the cube?

You would need to know other physical properties to be able to calculate the length. As you would need to know certain properties to be able to calculate the volume, for instance.


Can you calculate power by multiplying voltage and current?

Not enough information. Power = current x voltage. Since voltage can be anything, there is no way to calculate power. Time is irrelevant; though once you have the power, it can help you calculate energy (energy = power x time).


How is distance and time alike?

You need to know both of them in order to calculate speed.


How do you calculate absorbed power for motors?

we can calculate power consumption of motor by multiplying voltage and current which motor is take.AnswerYou need to know its rated power (i.e. its output power) and its full-load efficiency, from which you can calculate its input power.


How do you calculate a log with 9 diameter and 10' length?

You do not calculate a log!You can calculate the surface area or the volume or, if you know the species, the mass or even time for which it would burn in a hearth. But the log, itself, is not something you can calculate.You do not calculate a log!You can calculate the surface area or the volume or, if you know the species, the mass or even time for which it would burn in a hearth.

It easy.We know p=vi.So just put the value in the equation.


How do you calculate current and voltage passing through light globes?

You can't "calculate" both. If you know the wattage & the line voltage then I = P / E and vice-versa.
