power · energy
the capacity to produce change through movement in space over time
Examples
- The Hoover Dam generates 4.2 billion kilowatt-hours annually by harnessing the Colorado River’s flow through turbines. engineering
- A cheetah accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in under three seconds, converting metabolic energy into motion. biology
- The 2021 Texas power grid failure left 4.5 million homes without electricity during a winter storm. institutions
