Consider a situation where you exert a force F on a crate of mass m , moving it at a speed v a distance d across a floor in a time interval t . The quantity mv is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The quantity mv is the product of mass and velocity, which gives us the linear momentum of the crate. Kinetic energy is given by 1/2mv^2, potential energy depends on the height of the object and its position, and work is given by force times distance. Power is the rate at which work is done, so it is not directly related to mv.
