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?

Answer :

Answer:

955.36 seconds ≈ 16 minutes

Explanation:

Power(P) is the rate of doing work(W)

That is, P = W/t, where t is the time.

multipying both sides with 't' and dividing with 'P', we get: t=W/P

Here, W = 5.35 x 10^10 J and P = 5.6 x 10^7 W ( 1 W = 1 J/s).

Therefore , on dividing W with P, we get 955.36 seconds.
