Answer:

Power = 1625 Watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Energy = 65,000 J

Time = 40secs

To find the power;

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;


Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

Substituting into the equation, we have

Power = 65,000/40

Power = 1625 Watts
