| Jun 27, 2021 at 23:17 | comment | added | Solomon Slow | "work (energy)...divided by the amount of time" is a definition of average power during that particular interval of time, but when you say, "the power would constantly increase," you are talking about instantaneous power. You can't define that without using calculus (e.g., as shown in the answers below.) | |

| Jun 27, 2021 at 14:55 | comment | added | ACuriousMind♦ | Have you tried to actually compute these two terms so that you can compare them? The power in the first case is not constant either - the work done increases linearly with distance but the time taken to reach that distance is not a linear function of distance. | |
