Solution

  1. Consider the following examples: Consider A and B of the same weight. Separately, they begin climbing a rope. Then they both reach an 8-meter height. Let's say A takes 15 seconds and B requires 20 seconds to complete the task.
  2. Both of them do the same work. Because a stronger individual can do a task in less time, he has greater power than the other.
  3. As a result, power is a measurement of how quickly or slowly tasks are completed.
  4. Power is defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
  5. When an agent completes a task W in time t, power P=workdoneTime=Wt.
