Hello!

The answer is:

False, the power measured is equivalent to Watt.

Why?

The power is the rate which a determinate amount of work is done, being this, the amount of work done over time, which is also equal to the energy used over time.

We can calculate the power using the following formula:


Power=(Work)/(Time)

Where,

Power, is quantity of energy used over time, measured in Watt.

Work, is the energy transferred when an object is in motion, covering a distance, it's measured in Joules (N.m)

Time, is the time measured in seconds.

Have a nice day!
