Answer: W = 11340J
Explanation:
Hey there! I will give the following steps, if you have any questions feel free to ask me in the comments below.
So this is the Formula: Power = Work / Time.
<u>Step 1:</u><em><u> Find the Formula</u></em>
P = W / T
<em><u>
</u></em>
<u>Step 2: </u><u><em>Make W the subject of the equation.</em></u>
W = PT
<u>Step 3:</u><u> </u><u><em>Given.</em></u>
P = 270 Watts, T = 42 seconds
<u>Step 4:</u><u><em> Substitute these values into equation 2
.</em></u>
W = 270(42)
<u>Step 5:</u><u> </u><u><em>Simplify.</em></u>
W = 11340J
The amount of work done was 11340.

Answer:
even if it all could be used, it wouldn't be enough
Explanation:
The land area of the US is about 5.45% of the world's area, so the amount of released heat over the area of the US is on the order of 2.4 Tw. Current technology for converting geothermal energy to electricity is about 12% efficient, so the available energy might amount to 0.29 Tw if it could all be captured.
Energy consumption in the US in 2019 was on the order of 0.46 Tw. This suggests that even if <em>all</em> of the thermal energy radiated by the Earth from the US could be turned to useful forms of energy, it would meet only about 60% of the US need for energy.
