Answer: 2.7 x 10^5 joules
Explanation:
Given that:
Time taken = 3 minutes
convert time in minutes to seconds
(Since 1 minute = 60 seconds
3 minutes = 3 x 60 = 180 seconds)
Power of toaster = 1500 watt
Work done by the toaster = ?
Recall that power is the rate of work done per unit time
i.e Power = work/time
work = Power x Time
Work = 1500 watt x 180 seconds
Work = 270000J
Place the result in standard form
270000J = 2.7 x 10^5J
Thus, 2.7 x 10^5 joules of work is done by the toaster.
