A single wind turbine has a maximum power output of 2 000 000 W. The wind turbine operated continuously at maximum power for 6 hours. Calculate the energy output in kilowatt-hours of the wind turbine.

Equation:P = Wt (Power = Work[Energy] x time)1) Convert Watts to Kilowatts (W -> kW)2,000,000W -> 2,000kW [divide by 1000]2) Multiply work by time (remembering the question asks for kWh)2,000kW x 6h = 12,000 kWh

An electric Iron rated at 2600 W contains a steel plate, heated to a working temperature of 215°C. Room temp=18°C. Deduce whether the plate could reach its working temperature in less than 1 minute. Mass (steel plate)=890g & C (steel)=450J/kg/K


why does applying the brakes of a car cause the temperature of the breaks to increase?


How can an object be at rest without friction?


Alice and Bob are sat on a seesaw. The seesaw is in static equilibrium. Alice weighs 500N and is sat 0.5m to the left of the pivot. If Bob weighs 800N, how far from the pivot on the right is he sat? What happens if Bob moves closer to the pivot?
