Power (Advocacy)

The ability to accomplish objectives. This can occur through force, through cooperation, or through the power of the integrative system - the system of identity and relationships that holds people together in groups.

Power (Anthromorphemics)

The ability to exert influence because one's directives are backed by negative sanctions of some sort.

Power (Anthropology)

The ability to exert influence because one's directives are backed by negative sanctions of some sort.

Power (Auto Loan)

of

Power (Automotive)

The rate at which work is performed. Power is proportional to torque and rpm and is measured in horsepower.

Power (Car Engine)

Rate at which work is done; equivalent to torque times rotational speed, voltage times current, etc.

Power (Energy)

The rate at which energy is transferred. Electrical energy is usually measured in watts. Also used for a measurement of capacity.

Power (Exercise)

Quick movement where the body is propelled either upward or outward; explosive strength; performance of work accomplished per unit of time.

Power (Explosives)

Power, in physics, the time rate of doing Work or of producing or expending Energy. The unit of power in the Metric System is the watt, which equals 1 joule per second. It is also the amount of power that is delivered to a component of an electric circuit when a current of 1 ampere flows through the component and a voltage of 1 volt exists across it. The English Unit Of Measurement is the horsepower, which equals 550 foot-pounds per second or 746 watts.

Power (Fitness)

Power is equal to speed + strength.

Power (Home Theater)

Electrical energy, such as the output from an amplifier used to drive a speaker. Measured in watts (W).

Power (Law)

Power (Physical Education)

The rate of change of work during a given time interval, or the work done divided by the time interval.

Power (Roofing)

The energy rate, usually measured in watts. Power equals voltage times amps. or W = E x 1. The heavier the flow of amps at a given supply, the higher the rate at which energy is being supplied and used.

Power (Satellite Meteorology)

The rate of change of energy over time, often expressed in watts.

Power (Sociology)

The ability to achieve aims or further the interests you hold even when opposed by others.

Power (Statistics)

This is the probability that a statistical test will detect a defined pattern in data and declare the extent of the pattern as showing STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE. POWER is related to TYPE-2 ERROR by the simple formula : POWER = (1-BETA) ; the motive for this re-definition is so that an increase in value for POWER shall represent improvement of performance of a STATISTICAL TEST. For more detail, see : BETA.

Power (William Shakespeare)

Forces, army.

Power (World Politics)

The totality of a country's international capabilities. Power is based on multiple resources, which alone or in concert allow one country to have its interests prevail in the international system.
