Instantaneous power is dot product of force and velocity ======================================================== **Instantaneous power** is a measure of the rate of energy transfer or conversion at a given point in time. **Conditions:** #. Force :math:`\vec F` is constant. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.dynamics.vector.instantaneous_power_is_force_dot_velocity .. py:data:: power Instantaneous :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.basic.power` due to :attr:`~force`. Symbol: :code:`P` Latex: :math:`P` Dimension: :code:`power` .. py:data:: force Vector of :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.classical_mechanics.force` exerted on the body. Symbol: :code:`F` Latex: :math:`{\vec F}` Dimension: :code:`force` .. py:data:: velocity Vector of the body's velocity. See :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.classical_mechanics.speed`.
