If one were asked, "How does a ramp make it easier to move a heavy object a certain distance?" Would you answer with
a. by changing the direction in which the object move
b. by decreasing the amount of work required to move the object
c. by decreasing the distance the object moves
d. by...
Strange question, but is "time" and actual "thing"?
I was thinking about this today in my Physics class. Is "time" an actual "thing" ? Or just the movement of the hands on a clock?
Please give me your opinion

Let's say a person weighing 500 Newtons wants to climb a 3 meter ladder in 5 seconds. Now if I asked you to find the power, would this be the correct equation (s)
Work=Force X Distance
W=FD
500X3=1500
Then to find the power, I believe you would then use the equation
Power=Work/Time...
