Power
An engine does 1000 J of work in 20 seconds. What is the power output of the engine?
Select the correct option:
Solution
50 W
- Definition of Power: Power is the rate at which work is performed.
- Formula: P=tW.
- Application:
- Work W=1000 J.
- Time t=20 s.
- Calculation: P=1000/20=50 W.
- Unit Note: 1 Watt equals 1 Joule per second.
