Answer:

C: You must know force and distance to calculate both.

Step-by-step explanation:

A force is said to have done work, when it has succeeded in causing displacement in an object from its starting point.

Power can be defined as the rate of doing work.

The work can be calculated using the following formula:

Work done = Force × Displacement

The power can be calculated using the following formula:

Power = Work \ Time

In order to calculate the work and power, the force and distance should be known. The force and distance will help in the calculating the work, which will in turn help in the calculation of the power of the object.

Hence, the answer is you must know force and distance to calculate both.
