One Joule is the amount of energy generated by a power of one Watt in one second.

Knowing this, we can write the formula below:


E=P\cdot t

So, for an energy of 42000 J and a power of 1200 W, the time required is:


\begin{gathered} 42000=1200\cdot t \\ t=(42000)/(1200) \\ t=35\text{ seconds} \end{gathered}

The number of significant figures in the number 35 is two.
