Work & Power: Using the Equations

Spec 4.4-4.5

What you need to know

  • Use work equals force times distance
  • Use power equals work over time
  • Rearrange both equations

Active recall

Quick check

Answer each question before opening the answer.

How much work is done lifting with a force of 20 N through 3 m?

W = F × d = 20 × 3 = 60 J.

What is the power if 600 J is transferred in 4 s?

P = E ÷ t = 600 ÷ 4 = 150 W.
