Power is: The rate of doing work.
(and also) The rate of energy transfer. J/s or Watt (W) Power = W t

Problem: A 20 tonne truck can move up a 12% gradient
at 50 mph. Calculate the truck’s power. 1. Calculate mass (1000kg = 1 tonne) 2. Calculate weight ( 10N = 1 kg) = ‘F’ 3. Convert mph to kmhr-1 then to ms-1 (5/8 mile = 1km ) 4. Calculate vertical velocity ‘v’. 5. Power = F x v
