How much 360000 joules in kilowatt?

Answer 1

"Joule" is an amount of energy. You can hold it in your hand or put it in a jar.

If your friend comes along and gives you another joule, then you have twice

as much energy as you had before.

"Watt" is the rate at which energy moves from place to place. If another friend

is coming along and giving you another joule of it every second, then your energy

is building up at the rate of one watt.

"Kilowatt" just means 1,000 watts . . . 1,000 joules every second.

So there are a huge number of ways you could collect 360,000 joules of energy.

Here are a few ways it could happen:

-- 1 watt for 360,000 seconds (100 hours)

-- 10 watts for 36,000 seconds (10 hours)

-- 100 watts for 3,600 seconds (1 hour)

-- 1 kilowatt (1,000 watts) for 360 seconds (6 minutes)

-- 10 kilowatts for 36 seconds

In each case, you have 360,000 joules when the time is up.
