Question

Power can also be written as force times velocity.

Question 3 options:
True
False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The units of force are newtons (N). The units of velocity are meters per second (m/s). The units of power are joules per second.

The units of the product of force and velocity are ...

(N)(m/s) = (N·m)/s

The unit joule can be defined as 1 newton-meter:

N·m = J

So, the product of force and velocity is ...

Fv = (N)(m/s) = N·m/s = J/s . . . . units of power

Power can be written as force times velocity.
