Work vs Power

The difference between work and power is that work is is the amount of force you do on an object so it can move at a certain distance. And power is the rate of how much work you put on an object. 

To find work you ONLY need force x distance. 
And to find the power you need work/ change of time.  
For work time doesn't matter BUT in power time DOES MATTER. 😄👌🏼✖️➗

Examples; 

Work done nd lots of power- An example of someone doing work with lots of power is a weight lifter picking up a 50 pound weight above his head with the time of 3s. And the second weightlifter is lifting the same weight but at the time of 10s. Which weightlifter has more power?
Well the second weight lifter because it's takin him more time to lift the same weight at the same distance. 
The one with less time is an expanse of little power because he's not taking all of his power to lift the weight up.
