Answer:

11.2Watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Energy produced by the engine = 670J

Time taken = 1min = 60s

Unknown:

Number of watts it can output = ?

Solution:

This problem entails finding the power of the engine.

Power is the rate at which work is being done.

So;

Power =
(Work done )/(time)

Power =
(670)/(60) = 11.2Watts
