If you are given force and time you are able to determine power if you also know the distance to which in the most basic case, you are moving a given object.

P = W/t = F•d/t.

Step-by-step explanation:

The power used by an object is calculated using the work done and the time. The mathematical formula for the power is given by :


P=(W)/(t)

Where

W = work done

t = time taken

Work done is the product of force and distance. The equation (1) becomes :


P=(F* d)/(t)

Where

F is the force applied

d is the distance

So, power depends on the force, distance and time taken. Hence, if you are given force and time you can determine power, if you know the distance covered.
