What sort of crap is this? "transition to power" I should have said to calculate power. Stop confusing the two. Work and power are two totally separate things which are related by integrals and derivatives. You are so stupid. How can they be totally separate when one is part of another. Again power is the rate of work. That is the amount of work done per unit of time. But nobody wants to know if a tractor can plow a field of a certain size, they all can, they want an idea of how quickly it can plow a field. So for the same engine speed a tractor of more horsepower will either pull a same size plow faster, or pull a larger plow at the same speed, both of which will plow the field faster. That is why work is useless except as a part of a calculation. None of the measures of work use a Newton except the Watt, its not really necessary as a horse doesn't work in outer space or another planet, thus the horsepower doesn't use Newtons or Slugs.
