Basic Physics for the Starwoid Part 1
Because I'm feeling especially geeky today, and because
Rej has been asking about work
("what is this thing you call work?")...
Work = Force x displacement
In order for a Force to qualify as having done work on an object, there must be a displacement and the Force must cause the displacement.
Illustration: When you use the Force to send an opponent smashing into a far wall, you are in fact, doing work. :p
Power = Work/time = ((Force x displacement)/time)
Power is the rate at which a certain amount of work is done. The faster the work is done, the higher your power rating.
Illustration: You are a more powerful Jedi if you can use the Force to send an opponent smashing into a far wall faster than another Jedi can. :p
Acceleration = (Force/mass)
The greater the mass, the greater the Force needed to accelerate the object.
Illustration: unfortunately, Master Yoda teaches another type of Physics altogether. to him, only the Force is significant. :D
