Answer:
0.031 W
Explanation:
The power used is equal to the rate of work done:
where
P is the power
W is the work done
t is the time taken to do the work W
In this problem, we have:
W = 900 J is the work done by the motor
t = 8 h is the time taken
We have to convert the time into SI units; keeping in mind that
1 hour = 3600 s
We have
And therefore, the power used is
