Final answer:

The equations for Power in physics are P = Work/time (P = W/t) and Power = Force x distance/time, which makes both A and B correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for Power is P = Work/time, which can be written as P = W/t. If work W is the product of force and displacement (force × distance), and the work is done over a period of time, then the power can also be described by the relationship Power = Force x distance/time.

Therefore, the correct answers for the equation for power are both A and B: P = Force x distance / time and P = Work/time. Options C does not represent a standard physics equation for power and is not applicable.
