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 does the term power mean?
Power is the rate of doing work
What does P equals W sivided by t mean?
P is power. Work is W. Time is t. Power is work divided by time, or, the rate at which work is done.
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 are the triangles for work and power?
If you mean the symbol of a triangle, in math and science a triangle stands for change in
How would you show the work for 0 to the 6 power?
06= 0x0x0x0x0x0= 0
What does the term power mean?
Power is the rate of doing work
Does less power mean more work?
Not necessarily. The amount of work depends on both the power and the amount of time it is applied. Less power may mean that the work is done more slowly, but the overall work done can still be the same as with more power but for a shorter duration.
Power is the ability to?
Power is work per time, joules per second. So Power would be the rate at which work can be performed.
What does antenna power overload mean?
it means take the antenna out of the power outlet, it won't work!
How would you work this sum out a x a x a .would it be 3a or to the power of 3?
it will be a cube or a to the power of 3.
What does P equals W sivided by t mean?
P is power. Work is W. Time is t. Power is work divided by time, or, the rate at which work is done.
Why would your faucett not work after you cut power to the well?
Because there is no power for the pump.
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
Where do the power plant workers work?
In various areas of power plants I would suspect.
How do you calculate 200j of work done in 20s?
Work done is calculated using the formula: Work = Force x Distance. If you have the result in joules and the time taken, you can calculate the power using the formula: Power = Work / Time. So, you can determine the power required to do 200j of work in 20s.
Do solar power connected to power grid work during a power cut ie during a power cut in the grid would you still have power if it was during the day?
yes you would have power no matter what
Does 200 joules of work done in 20 seconds involve more power than 50 joules of work done?
Yes, because power is a measure of how quickly work is done. In this case, the power for the 200 joules of work done in 20 seconds would be 10 watts, while the power for the 50 joules of work done would be 2.5 watts. Hence, 200 joules of work done involves more power than 50 joules of work done.
