You can't because you need the time involved. Force x distance shifted in the direction of the force = energy. But power is energy per unit time (seconds etc)

Power = (work) divided by (time) If you don't know the amount of work, you can calculate it. Work = (force) times (distance).
There is not enough information.
Work = (force) x (distance). Time is not involved.But if that amount of work was done in that amount of time, then(force) x (distance)/(time) is the average power during that time.
Power is equal to Force times velocity; P=Fv. You are given the 'speed', which I assume to be velocity. You also have acceleration. In order to find F, you need first to find the mass, which you can calculate from the weight, Fg, by dividing by the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8. You then have the mass. From here, multiply mass times acceleration times the velocity.
-- 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.
