Energy Dissipated by Damper Infinitesimal Derivation
If we consider a damper (dashpot) element that exerts a force opposite the direction of motion proportional to the velocity, i.e. $$ \vec{F} = -c \vec{v}$$
Therefore, we can consider an infinitesimal ...

What does it mean in terms of energy if power is increasing with time? [closed]
Recently I have been studying work and energy and in this chapter I encountered with the term power. In terms of work power is written as $dW/dt$. So I have a doubt that suppose power is increasing. ...

Is it possible to lift an object from rest with constant power?
This is inspired by the following question.
Consider some object which I want to lift from rest with a constant power throughout the whole process; the power I apply when lifting the object from rest ...

Power and work contradiction
A body is starting from rest. A force is acting on it for a short period of time. In that given time, power delivered to it at any instance $t$ is given
$$P = F \cdot v_1 = ma \cdot v_1 = mv_1^2/t,$$
...

Infinitesimal work
I am a newbie in Physics (Senior on highschool) and our teacher wrote in a proof
$$\dfrac{dK}{dt}=\dfrac{dW}{dt},$$
where $K$ is the Kinetic energy of a body and $W$ is the Work.
So now that I am ...

Why dont you take derivative of force in definition of power ? P=F.v
The derivative of work is $\bf F\cdot v .$
$$P(t)= \frac{\mathrm dW}{\mathrm dt}= \mathbf{F\cdot v}=-\frac{\mathrm dU}{\mathrm dt}\;.$$
But why not $$\frac{\mathrm{d}\mathbf{F}}{\mathrm{d}t}\cdot \...
