Power of a 1,800 J lift done in 1.2 s

Answer: power = 1,500 W (in horsepower 2.012 hp).

What we know

  • Work / energy: 1800 J
  • Time: 1.2 s

Step by step

Given
W = 1800 J, t = 1.2 s
Formula
P = W / t
Substitute
P = 1800 / 1.2
Result
P = 1,500 W

All results

Power1,500 W
In horsepower2.012 hp

The physics

Power is how fast energy flows: joules per second, measured in watts. Same work done in half the time means double the power.
