Work vs power

What is work? Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object.

What is power? Power is that rate of doing work its equivalent to an amount of energy consumed per unit time.

The main relationship / difference between the two is time. Work is the energy necessary to move an object from one point o another.....think... Moving a table with a finger. To the living to the dinning room. The power is in the rate which energy is being used.this example , if you push an object slow you are putting very little amount of power, but it will take a bit longer. But if you push quickly , you'll use more power but accomplish the same task quicker .. The work done on the object is the same even if the person made more of an effort
