Question

If riding a lawnmower engine exerts 19 hp in one minute to move the lawnmower how much work is done

Answer 1

Answer:

the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.

Explanation:

Given;

power exerted by the lawnmower engine, P = 19 hp

time in which the power was exerted, t = 1 minute = 60 s.

1 hp = 745.7 watts

The work done by the lawnmower is calculated as follows;

$Work = Energy = \frac{Power}{time} \\\\Work = \frac{(19 \times 745.7)}{60} = 236.14 \ J$

Therefore, the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.
