A toaster oven operating at 800 watts power takes one and a half minutes to toast a bagel. How much energy is in this

1 answer

To calculate the energy consumed, we need to convert the power from watts to joules and multiply it by the time in seconds.

Power in watts: 800 watts
Time in minutes: 1.5 minutes

Converting time to seconds:
1.5 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 90 seconds

Energy consumed = Power * Time
= 800 watts * 90 seconds
= 72,000 joules
