Thought it was right but I was cautious because it seemed to easy too solve the problem I was thinking of, which was calculating the energy used when footwear sole is compressed by body... (view)
Mon 10 Dec, 2012 04:26 pm - Can I say (and be correct):
Work done = energy used (work - energy theorem)
Power = Work done/time or P = f*d/t
and so
Work done/time = energy used/time and = Power
Therefore... (view)
