How much time did it take Alex to move a stack of books if he did 1600 J of work and used 40 W of power?

Respuesta :

Answer:

40 seconds

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of work done per unit time, expressed as [tex]P=\frac {W}{t}[/tex] where P represent power in Watts, W is work done in Joules and t is time taken. Making t the subject of the above formula then [tex]t=\frac {W}{P}[/tex] and substituting Work done, W with 1600 J while Power, P with 40 W then [tex]t=\frac {1600}{40}=40s[/tex]

Therefore, the time taken is equivalent to 40 s
