The Relationship Between Object’s Power and Momentum

The Potential Theory of Power

Sabid Uddin

1)Introduction:
We know that the rate at which an object works is called
ability. To determine the power of an object we use the
equation P = W / t. If we know the momentum, mass and
working time of an object, we can determine the power
of the object.

2)Method:
We know that- v²=u²+2as

Or, v²= 2as [u=0]

Or, 2as= v² [Transforms]

Or, as= v²/2. [Transforms]

So, as= v²/2__________(i)

Again, We know that- P=W/t

Or, P= mas/t

Or, P= (mv²/2)×(1/t)

Or, P= mv²/2t

So, P= mv²/2t

= m²v²/2mt [Multiplied by m/m]

= (mv)²/2mt

= p²/2mt. [p=mv]

So, P= p²/2mt__________(ii)

If p= 2p then-

P'= (2p)²/2mt

= 4p²/2mt

2
P'÷P= (4p²/2mt)÷(p²/2mt)

= (4p²/2mt)×(2mt/p²)

=4

So, P'= 4P

If p= ½p then-

P’= (½p)²/2mt

= ¼p²/2mt

= p²/8mt

P'÷P= (p²/8mt)÷(p²/2mt)

= (p²/8mt)÷(2mt/p²)

=¼

So, P=¼P

If the square value of the momentum of an object

increases, then the value of the power of the object
increases proportionally. If the square value of the
momentum of an object decreases, then the value of the
power of the object decreases proportionally.

So, p²∞P_______(iii)

3
If mt= 2mt then-

P'= p²/2(2mt)

= p²/4mt

So, P'÷P= p²/4mt ÷ p²/2mt

= p²/4mt × 2mt/p²

=½

So, P'= ½P

Again, If mt= ½mt then-

P'= p²/2(½mt)

= p²/mt

So, P'÷P= p²/mt ÷ p²/2mt

= p²/mt × 2mt/p²

=2

So, P'=½P

If the value of object’s mass and time increases, the

value of the power of that object decreases. Again, the
value of object’s mass and time decreases, the value of
power of that object increases.

So, P∞1/2mt________(iv)

The graph of iii no. equation-

The graph of iv no. equation-

5
From iii and iv no. equation-

p²∞P_______(iii)

P∞1/2mt________(iv)

So, P∞p²×1/2mt

Or, P∞p²/2mt

Or, P=kp²/2mt

So, P=kp²/2mt________(v)

If k=1 then- P=p²/2mt

So, we can say that-

The value of object’s power is proportional to the square

value of the momentum of that object and
disproportional to the value of its mass and time.

Conditions of this law:

There are some conditions of this law. They are-

i) The object should be a moving object.

6
 ii) i) This formula applies to moving objects in a
plane. This formula does not apply to tilted
surfaces, freely falling objects and stationary
objects.

Conclusion:
So, if we know the value of object’s momentum, mass
and time, we can find out the power of that object.
