Hi, I am needing help with the following question.
How long would it take to produce 150 kW with 780 J of energy? (make sure you have the corerct units)
Kelsey,
T=E/W
150kW = 150000W
150000/780 = 192.3 seconds
Many thanks for your help
You are very welcome.
To find out how long it would take to produce 150 kW with 780 J of energy, we need to use the equation relating power, energy, and time. The equation is:
Power = Energy / Time
In this case, we have the power as 150 kW (kilowatts) and the energy as 780 J (joules). However, we need to make sure that the units are consistent.
To convert kilowatts to watts, we need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 watts in 1 kilowatt. Thus, 150 kW is equal to 150,000 watts.
Now, we can rewrite the equation, substituting the values:
150,000 watts = 780 joules / Time
To solve for Time, we need to rearrange the equation:
Time = Energy / Power
Plugging in the values:
Time = 780 J / 150,000 watts
Now, we divide 780 J by 150,000 watts:
Time = 0.0052 seconds
Therefore, it would take approximately 0.0052 seconds to produce 150 kW with 780 J of energy.
