Average mechanical power
Calculate average power from transferred work or energy and elapsed time.
Method and scope
Average power P = work or energy transferred ÷ elapsed time.
Calculate the average rate of work or energy transfer in an educational example. Intended for Learners, General physics use.
Inputs- Work or energy transferred — J, kJ, Wh, kWh
- Elapsed time — s, min, h
SOURCE AND LIMITS
Assumptions: The input is signed work or energy transferred over the stated interval. Elapsed time is positive.
Limitations: An average does not show short-duration peaks or variation over time.
