Answer:

Power = 66 Watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Energy = 3960 Joules

Time = 60 seconds

To find the power output;

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 = \frac {3960}{60}

Power = 66 Watts
