alleryAverage power is defined as:
Awork done per unit time interval
Bforce per unit velocity
Cenergy multiplied by time
Dmomentum transferred per second
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. work done per unit time interval
Average power is the total work done divided by the total time taken, $P_{\text{avg}}=W/\Delta t$.
It measures how fast work is done over a finite interval.
