Question

If I work out rotational energy to be 102.2J which equals kg.M/s^2, and I hadn't factored time into it, would that be Joules per second? So Watts? What would I need to do to find how much energy at the same rate, for 30minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.057 joules is needed to create the total rotational energy each second.

Explanation:

The energy rate is the ratio of total energy to time, which coincides with the definition of power at constant rate:

$\dot W = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t}$

$\dot W = \frac{102.2\,J}{\left(30\,min\right)\cdot \left(60\,\frac{s}{min} \right)}$

$\dot W = 0.057\,\frac{J}{s}$

$\dot W = 0.057\,W$

0.057 joules is needed to create the total rotational energy each second.
