That is a challenging question. Energy in the Martial Arts is often referred to as chi, referring to the internal energies that are believed to be inherit in all human beings.

Combining this energy with physical strength creates power. For the young, the power of the muscles is enough to succeed in many situations. With learning and experience, energy can assist in the creation of power, allowing older and lighter individuals to easily over power others.

An alternative answer

No.

Power is simply a rate, the rate at which one form of energy is converted into another, or the rate of heat transfer. As energy is measured in joules, power is measured in joules per second which, in SI, is given a special name, the watt.

Energy, on the other hand, occurs in many forms, including electrical. All forms of energy, including electrical, is measured in joules.

It is energy, not power. that you pay for, when your electricity utility charges you for 'using electricity'. As the joule is a very small unit, utilities traditionally use a special unit called a kilowatt hour (kW.h) to measure that energy although there is no reason why they shouldn't use a kilojoule or megajoule instead.

Essentially yes. Since all light has its own frequency values, and we know that the shorter the wavelengths of a light has higher energy, we can safely assume that frequency refers to energy.

What is the relationship of work Energy and power?

Work is the transfer of mechanical energy; its units are the same as for energy, for example joule. Power is the rate of transfer of energy, and it has units of energy/time, for example watt.


Is hydro energy and hydro power the same?

Basically, yes.


What is the difference between work energy and power?

Work is transfer of energy, so it has the same units as energy. Power is the amount of energy transferred per unit time, so it does not have the same units of energy. Rather, its units are energy/time.


Is voltage energy or power?

Power is the rate of energy transfer. Since a power station require energy source to generate electrical power and as the engine horse power would first required combustion of fuel, it is energy that give power. Answer: power is the rate at which energy is converted. So a 100 watt light used for 2 hours would use the same energy as a 200 watt light for 1 hour.


Is energy power from the sun?

Not quite. First, there are many different types of energy. Most of the energy sources we have on Earth come directly or indirectly from the Sun; a few don't. Second, energy is not the same as power. Power refers to energy transfer per unit time.

What are 2 ways power can be increased?

One way to increase power is to work harder (generate more energy in same amount of time). Another way to increase power is to work faster (generate the same amount of energy in less time).
