In order to sail through the frozen Arctic Ocean, the most powerful icebreaker ever built was constructed in the former Soviet Union. At the heart of the ship’s power plant is a nuclear reactor with a power output of 5.60* 10^7 W. How long will it take for this power plant to do 5.35* 10^10 J of work?

Respuesta :

Answer:

955.36 seconds

Explanation:

Power is the rate of doing work over time

[tex]P=\frac{W}{t}[/tex]

We have

[tex]P=5.60* 10^7\ Watt[/tex]

[tex]W=5.35* 10^{10}\ Joule[/tex]

So the time taken is

[tex]t=\frac{W}{P}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{5.35* 10^{10}}{5.60*10^7} =955.36\ sec[/tex]
