Step-by-step explanation:

The SI unit of power is the kilogram-meter2 per second cubed, which is called the watt (1 W = 1 kg-m2/s3). Since power is the energy used per unit of time, it is derived as the energy/time quotient.

Kelvin is a fundamental unit! It's a lot easier to measure temperature than to measure the motion of component particles. Hence, we can accept it as a fundamental quantity. Time is said to be a fundamental unit because it is not dependent on one or more units
