What is a black hole?
What is the most common fuel that stars (including our sun) burn? Work/Power
Define work, what is the equation?
Define power, what is the equation?
Do the following practice problems:
1. You push a Christmas present with a force of 40N across the floor to the tree. If you moved it a distance of 15m while you are pushing, how much word did you do?
2. Using the answer from number 1, if it took you 12s to do the work, how much power did you use?
