Question

A certain steam turbine is designed to be used as both a power generator and a pump. When used as a generator, the turbine provides enough power to do 3* 10^10 J of work in 1 min. What is the power output of the turbine?

Answer 1

5 x 10^8 W

Step-by-step explanation:

Power = Energy ÷ time

given

Energy = 3 x 10^10J

time = 1 min = 60 s

Power = Energy ÷ time

= 3 x 10^10 ÷ 60

= 5 x 10^8 W
