Yes. Remember our discussion a while back about blackbody radiation? An incandescent light bulb is exactly that. Most of the light it gives off is in the infrared spectrum, which is to say, it's felt as heat instead of seen as light.

Power is energy per unit time, yes.

The division doesn't QUITE mean that. It doesn't strictly imply a cause-and-effect relationship, only an inverse-proportional one. If you have m = F/a, then that means that if you hold the force constant, then increasing the mass decreases the acceleration, or vice versa it means that if you hold the force constant and you observe an increase in acceleration then the mass must have decreased.
