Minimum Power Required to Move Object

The minimum power required to move an object depends on the work done and the time it takes to complete the movement.

The minimum power equals four times the distance squared times the mass, and divided by the time cubed.

Formula

QuantityVariable["P", "Power"] == (4*QuantityVariable["D", "Distance"]^2*QuantityVariable["m", "Mass"])/QuantityVariable["t", "Time"]^3

symbol description physical quantity
P power "Power"
D distance "Distance"
