Given:
The work done by the engine is: W = 635 J
The work is done over the time of: t = 45 s
To find:
The power generated.
Explanation:
Power is defined as the rate of doing work. It is the amount of energy consumed over time t.
Let P be the power, W be the work done by the engine over time t, then
[tex]P=\frac{W}{t}[/tex]Substitute the values in the above equation, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=\frac{635\text{ J}}{45\text{ s}} \\ \\ P=14.11\text{ J/s} \\ \\ P=14.11\text{ watts} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer:
The power generated by the engine is 14.11 watts.
