Question

1. ___________ is the rate of doing work.
2. one horsepower equals ______ foot - pounds of work done in _ second.
3. horsepower is a unit of ________ just as feet is a unit of ______ and foot - pound is a unit of __________.

Explanation:

Question 1

In physics (a subfield of Natural Science), power is defined as the rate at which work is done. So the term that fits is "Power".

The standard definition of one horsepower is 550 foot - pounds of work done in one second. This is a well - known conversion in the study of power in physics.

• Horsepower: Since power is the rate of doing work, and horsepower is a unit used to measure power.
• Feet: Feet is a standard unit of length (in the imperial system of measurement).
• Foot - pound: A foot - pound is a unit of work (or energy). The work done is calculated as the force (in pounds) multiplied by the distance (in feet) over which the force is applied, so foot - pound is a unit of work.

Answer:

Power
