A 48V battery delivers power to a golf cart. The golf cart drives for 45 seconds while the batteries deliver 12A of current.
How much energy (in Joules) is delivered during the drive?
Power= voltageinVolts*currentinAmperes*timeinseconds.
Oops, Energy= voltageinVolts*currentinAmperes*timeinseconds.
To calculate the energy delivered by the battery, you need to use the formula:
Energy (in Joules) = Power (in Watts) x Time (in seconds)
First, we need to calculate the power. Power is calculated using the equation:
Power (in Watts) = Voltage (in Volts) x Current (in Amperes)
In this case, the voltage is 48V, and the current is 12A. Let's calculate the power:
Power = 48V x 12A
Power = 576 Watts
Now that we have the power, we can calculate the energy delivered by multiplying the power by the time:
Energy = Power x Time
Energy = 576 Watts x 45 seconds
Calculating the Energy:
Energy = 25,920 Joules
Therefore, during the drive, the battery delivers 25,920 Joules of energy.
