How much power does it take to apply 20 Joules of work in 0.5 seconds?

1 answer

Power is defined as the rate at which work is done, and can be calculated using the formula:

Power = Work / Time

Given that the work done is 20 Joules and the time taken is 0.5 seconds, we can calculate the power as follows:

Power = 20 Joules / 0.5 seconds
Power = 40 Watts

Therefore, it takes 40 Watts of power to apply 20 Joules of work in 0.5 seconds.
