Here's the tool you need. You can't answer the question without this:
"1 watt"
means
"1 joule of energy, generated, used, or moved, every second".
So 60 watts = 60 joules per second
Total energy generated,
used, or moved = (power) x (time).
580 joules = (60 watts) x (time)
Divide each side
by (60 watts): Time = (580 joules) / (60 joules/sec)
= (9 and 2/3) seconds .
Answer:
When you have to do an English-Metric (SI) length conversion, and you already know the English units of length (miles, yards, feet, inches, etc.), all you need to remember is one simple relationship, and you can readily convert any length in the SI system, to the equivalent length in the other.
1 foot (ft) = 0.3048 meters (m)
BIn this case you need your answer in inches. You (hopefully) know there are 12 inches in a foot, so you just do the following:
1 inch (in) = 1/12 ft = 0.3048/12 m = 0.0254 m
Hold on and let's discuss this realistically.
Because of gravity, there are two forces between the Earth and me. One draws me toward the Earth. The strength of that force is what I call my "weight". The other force draws the Earth toward me, and has the same strength.
The strength of these forces depends on the masses of the Earth and me. If the strength just tripled, that means that at least one of us just picked up a lot more mass. If the Earth suddenly became three times as massive, then the weight of everything and everybody on it would suddenly triple, and I'm pretty sure it would be the end of all of us before too long.
If it was only MY mass that suddenly tripled, that would mean that I had gone tearing through my house and the neighbour's house, eating everything in sight including the 2 couches, 3 dogs, and 6 TVs. Naturally, just as you would expect, my weight changed from 207 to 621, and my skin is stretched really tight.
ooohhh
One cubic centimeter and one milliliter are equal volumes.
