How much work is done by a 35-watt light bulb if it is on for 1,320 seconds?
plz help i need to do good on this test

Answer:

The 35-watt light bulb does a work of 46200 joules in 1320 seconds.

Explanation:

From Physics we remember the definition of work ([tex]W[/tex]), measured in joules, by the following integral equation:

[tex]W = \int\limits_{0}^{t} {\dot W} \, dt[/tex] (1)

Where [tex]\dot W[/tex] is the power, measured in watts.

If the power is stable in time, then the work can be calculated by the following algebraic equation:

[tex]W = \dot{W}\cdot \Delta t[/tex] (2)

If we know that [tex]\dot W = 35\,W[/tex] and [tex]\Delta t = 1320\,s[/tex], then the work done by the 35-light bulb is:

[tex]W = (35\,W)\cdot (1320\,s)[/tex]

[tex]W = 46200\,J[/tex]

The 35-watt light bulb does a work of 46200 joules in 1320 seconds.
