Question

The power generated by the engine was just 2.984 KW. How long would this engine have to run to produce 3.60 × 104 J of work?

Answer 1

1 watt = 1 joule/second

1 KW = 1,000 joule/second

Work = (power) x (time)

3.6 x 10⁴ J = (2,984 joules/second) x (time)

time = (3.6 x 10⁴J) / (2,984 J/s)

time = (36,000J) / (2,984 J/s)

time = 12.06 seconds
