Worked example

Find the power when Force = 500 N, Speed = 3 m/s.

Using P = Fv: Power = 1500 W.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for Power from force and speed?

P = Fv.

What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?

Power in W, Force in N, Speed in m/s.

How do you calculate power?

Put the values into P = Fv. For example, with Force = 500 N, Speed = 3 m/s, power = 1500 W.

Can I solve for a different value?

Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (power, force, speed) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
