Work, Power, and Mechanical Advantage.

Work is the transfer of energy to a body by the application of a force that causes the body to move in the direction of the force. Power is the quantity that measures the rate at which work is done or energy is transformed. An example of work would be trying to lift a car without a jack. An example of power is a measure of watts. An example of mechanical advantage is a ramp. I learned more about what each one is. I don't have any questions as of right now.
