Tom pulls a muscle. He has to stop working to get an ice pack. Claudia continues to work and soon finishes her pile.

Power is the rate of doing work. It's calculated by dividing work by time (power = work = time). Who had more power in
this scenario? Why?

Answer:

Tom

Step-by-step explanation:

if for example both their work is 40 and Tom stops working after 2 hours but Claudia continues and stops after 3 hours when you divide their work by their time Claudia will get a lower number of power.

(in your explanation maybe use different numbers based on you book or notes)
