#P=W/(Delta t)" (definition of power)"#

#W=F*Delta x" (definition of work"#

#F=m*a" (The Newton's second law of motion)"#

#W=m*a*Delta x#

#P=(m*a*Delta x)/(Delta t)#

#(Delta x)/(Delta t)=v#

#P=m*a*v" (definition of velocity)"#

#P:"Power"#

#"m:mass of object ;(4 kg)"#

#a:"acceleration of object ;(6) "m/s^2#

#v:"velocity of object ;(3) "m/s#

#P=4*6*3#
