Answer 1

One similarity between work and power is that in order to calculate both you must know the force.

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

As we all know that work is defined as the energy required moving an object to a particular distance by applying force, parallel to the distance. Whereas, power is how much work can do in a unit time i.e. the rate of work done.

Now, moving on to the respective formulae of both the physical quantities, we see;

Power is work done (W) in a unit time (t),

`P=\frac{\text { workdone }}{\text { time }}`

And work (W) is defined through a formula,

`W=\text { Force } * \text { distance }`

If we apply the formula of Work in the equation of Power, we see;

`P=\frac{\text {Force} * \text {distance}}{\text {time}}`

This means, the prime factor required to calculate both the physical quantities is force.
