Im pretty sure "force" is externally applied vectored energy experienced by an object, such as Gravity, Drag, Lift etc. In Wiki's words: force is an action or agency that causes a body of mass m to accelerate. F = ma Power is a measurement of energy over time, Joules per second; Watts. eg Power of a Lightbulb: 60 Watts (lightbulb emits 60 joules of heat/light energy per second) Wiki's words: The rate at which work is performed, or energy is transmitted.

a force makes something of a certain mass accelerate, measured in Newtons. Power is energy over time. measured in Joules per second or Watts

It sounds like the terms could be used interchangeable. It took power to move that. Or it took force. They both would have to have energy behind them. Power is a measurement of force and force is the power needed. I've never taken physics so I'm looking at this question from a common sense point of view.

Force is a vector quantity. Power is a scalar quantity. Force is applied to a mass and produces an acceleration. Also we describe the fundamental forces of nature as being the exchange of carrier particles, such as the force generated by electromagnetism uses photons as the carrier particle. Power is a measure of energy over time. So if an electrical device uses a certain power rating (say 300W) it is equivalent to saying 300 joules per second. They are related.

a force is any push or pull but power you can say is potential enrgy

Force multiplied by distance moved is work done. The work done for one second is power.
