Power

Definition of power 


Power is workdone per unit time.


Unit of power


Unit of power is J/s(joule per second)

Which is also known as watt.

Power = work done 
                    Time


Work

Defonition of work


Work is defined when a force moves through a distance .


So,

   Work = Force × distance in direction of force

    W=F•d


Unit of work


Unit of work is N•m(Newton into metre)

Which is also known as (j)Joule


Work is depend on distance so work is vector quantity

Pressure 

Definition of pressure


Pressure is defined as force per unit area.


Pressure = Force
                     Area
                     

          P=F/A

Unit of pressure 


Unit of pressure is N/m²(Newton per meter square) which is also known as pa(pascal).


1pa = 1N/m²


Pressure is scaler quantity .

Weight

Definition of weight


A force exerted by gravity is defined as weight


Weight = mass × gravitational force

         W= m•g


Unit of weight


Unit of weight is kg•m/s²


Weight is dependent on gravity so weight is not constant and also gravity is vector quantity, weight is vector quantity

Force

Definition of force


The multiplication of acceleration and mass of object is defined as force as newton's second law.


Unit of force


Unit of force is N (Newton) which is equal to kg•m/s² (kilogram into metre per second square)


Force = mass × acceleration

        F = ma

Hence acceleration is vector quantity Force is also vector quantity.

Acceleration 

Definition of acceleration 


Acceleration is defined as change of velocity per unit time


Unit of acceleration 


Unit of acceleration is m/s²(meter per second square)

   Acceleration = chenge in velocity
                                        Time
                                       


Here acceleration is vector quantity

Because it depends on velocity which is also vector quantity

Velocity 

Definition of velocity 


Velocity is speed of moving object per unit time

Velocity  =  Distance 
                       Time 


Unit of velocity 


Unit of velocity is m/s(meter per second)


Velocity is vector quantity
