Power

Today we added onto our what we knew about work and learned about power.  Power is how much work you can do in how much time. In class we weighed two people and had them run up a flight of stairs while others timed them. A person with a high speed would have a large amount of power, or watts.


During class, Kimi and I were the ones to run. Because I was heavier then Kimi, it took me a little longer to run up the seventeen steps. But because our mass was different and our times relatively similar, I generated a higher power.
