No. Work, heat (NOT temperature, which is something different), and energy all have the same (or at least compatible) units, but power is work (or energy) per unit time. Another way of looking at it is that work is power multiplied by the amount of time the power was applied.

In the SI system, work is measured in joules, and power is measured in watts. 1 watt = 1 joule per second (or, alternatively, 1 watt-second = 1 joule).

Weight x distance divided by time?

Weight has same dimension and unit as force. Distance has same dimension and unit as displacement. So weight * distance has same dimension and unit as force * displacement. Force * displacement is work done by the force. Work divided by time to do the work is Power. So weight * distance divided by time also has same dimension and unit as Power although it is not power. S.I. unit of weight * distance divided by time is Newton *meter/second or Nms-1 (in abbr.) It's dimensions are 1, 2, -3 in mass, length and time respectively. Note that given quantity's unit can't be joule/second or watt because weight * distance is not work done, only unit and dimension are same1 . 1. Two physical quantities may have same dimensions and units but that doesn't mean they refer to same quantity.


Why does efficiency have no dimension?

Efficiency is a ratio of the same quantities. Usually, output power / input power. As the numerator and denominator have the same quantities, the dimensions cancel each other out.

What are 2 ways power can be increased?

One way to increase power is to work harder (generate more energy in same amount of time). Another way to increase power is to work faster (generate the same amount of energy in less time).
