Answer:

P = 5 kW

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Electrical energy = 432 000 000 J

Time, t = 24 h = 86400 s

We need to find the power output of the generator. We know that,

Power = work done/time

So,


P=(432 000 000)/(86400)\\\\P=5000\ W

or

P = 5 kW

So, the power output of the generator is 5 kW.
