The discussion centers on calculating power using mass, velocity, and time. The key formula established is to divide the change in energy by the time taken for the motion. Specifically, power (P) can be calculated as P = ΔE / t, where ΔE represents the change in energy derived from the mass and velocity of the object. This formula is crucial for understanding the relationship between energy and time in physical systems.
