Work and Power Summary

Work happens when a force is applied to an object and causes it to move.

Work = Energy (Both measured in joules)

Power is a measure of how fast you do work or use energy.

(Measured in watts)

Think of work as being more focused on how far you move something and power focused on how fast you move something.
