Work and Power

This video does a really good at explaining work in force in a relatable way. Work is the amount of force applied for a certain amount of distance. If you were pushing a box with a force of 20N for 2m then the work applied would be 40J. Work= force X distance. Work is not applied if the force is not parallel though. For example if a waiter is carrying a tray there is no work being one on the tray. He explains how work is seen in a grandfather clock. When the cylinders inside the clock move in order to power the clock they have to be moved with a force that is equal to their weight. Power is how quickly work is done. In order for there to be power there must be work that is applied. Power is measured in something called watts. This video provides step by step explanation of how to find power and weight using a grandfather clock as the example. I really liked this video because it simplifies the whole concept and gives relatable and common examples.
