How does work differ from power? Physics Work and Energy Work 1 Answer Trevor Ryan. Nov 10, 2015 By strict definition, work is the dot product of the resultant force with the displacement moved in the direction of the force. ie, #W=int vecF*d vecx#. Power is the rate of doing work, ie #P=W/t# Answer link Related questions What is a force? What are some examples of work? What are some examples of displacement?
