Explain (in your own words) the difference between work and power. Give an example showing work done with a lot of power and then with a little power.
My understanding of work is a amount of force you put on a object to move it a distance. Power is the rate which work is done.
Pulling a item up a hill slow and then pushing the item down the hill you would be using a lot of power but dropping the object from the top of the hill is using a little power.
