If an automobile engine delivers 42.0 hp of power, how much time will it take for the engine to do 6.20 â 105 j of work? (hint: note that one horsepower, 1 hp, is equal to 746 watts.)

To be able to answer this item, we are to calculate the power that the machine could deliver from hp to kW.

(45 hp) (746 W/1 hp) = 33570 W

Power is the amount of energy delivered at a certain period.

t = (6.20 x 10^2 J) / (33570 kJ/s)

t = 0.01845 s
