Is energy the same as power?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No, energy and power are not the same. Energy is the ability to do work and is measured in units like joules or kilowatt-hours. Power, on the other hand, is the rate at which energy is transferred or converted and is measured in units like watts or horsepower.

Answer 3

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.
