Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The power delivered completing this task can be calculated using the formula Power = Work/Time. In this case, the power is equal to 30 J/15 s, which simplifies to 2 J/s. This can also be expressed as 2 Watts (W).

Important Formulas:


p=(w)/(t)

power(measured in watts) = work(measured in joules) / time(measured in seconds)

__________________________________________________________

Given:


w=30J


t=15s


p=?

__________________________________________________________

Finding power:


p=(w)/(t)


p=(30)/(15)

\fbox{p = 2 watts}
