How long does it take a 60 watt motor to do 8500 J of work?

Sammi or Chris -- please don't change names for your posts.

a joule per second is a watt

To determine the time it takes for a 60-watt motor to do 8500 J of work, we can use the equation:

Work = Power × Time

Rearranging the equation to solve for time:

Time = Work / Power

Substituting in the given values:

Time = 8500 J / 60 W

Now, we can calculate the time:

Time = 141.67 seconds

Therefore, it will take approximately 141.67 seconds for a 60-watt motor to do 8500 J of work.
