A watt is a measure of what?

Force
Power
Energy
Work

The correct answer is: Power

A watt is a measure of power. Power represents the rate at which work is performed or energy is transferred over time. Specifically, one watt is defined as one joule of energy used per second. This relationship highlights that while energy relates to the total capacity to do work, and force is an influence that can change the motion of an object, power is focused specifically on how quickly that work or energy transformation occurs. For example, when you think about a light bulb rated at 60 watts, it means that the bulb uses 60 joules of energy every second to produce light. This distinction is critical in fields like fitness training and exercise science, where understanding how quickly energy can be utilized or generated during physical activity directly relates to performance and intensity levels.
