Answer:

2,340,000 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done can be described as when energy or force is applied to an object to cause displacement

Work done is measured in joules

1 Watt = 1 Joule / second

650 watts = 650 Joules / second

convert 650 joules to seconds by multiplying by 3600

650 x 3600 = 2,340,000 J
