-- 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.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
