Question

how is power calculated?
○ multiply force and displacement
○ divide force by displacement
○ multiply work and time
○ divide work by time

Explanation:

In physics (a subfield of Natural Science), power is defined as the rate at which work is done. The formula for power \( P \) is \( P=\frac{W}{t} \), where \( W \) is work and \( t \) is time. Multiplying force and displacement gives work (\( W = F\times d \)), not power. Dividing force by displacement or multiplying work and time do not match the definition of power. So the correct way to calculate power is to divide work by time.

Answer:

D. divide work by time
