We do an A.I. search for each question, then store the response to that question on our server. No need to do multiple searches! Repeating the same A.I. request would have a much bigger carbon footprint.

Question 1:

The best definition of power is:

D. The rate at which work is done

The other options are incorrect:

Question 4:

The builder does work by lifting the bricks against gravity.
Power is how quickly that work is done.

So:

Option C has the heaviest load (20 kg) lifted in the shortest time (60 s).
That means the builder is doing work the fastest — so it requires the most power.

To convert megawatts (MW) to watts (W) :

1 MW=1,000,000 W

So:

0.15 MW=0.15×1,000,000=150,000 W
