    The time for the electric motor to do 1.5 * 10^5 J of work is 300 seconds.

    Explanation:

    Power = Work done / Time

    Power = 500W

    Work = 1.50 * 10^5J

    Time = ?

    Time = Work done / Power

    Time = 1.50 * 10^5 / 500

    Time = 0.003 * 10^5 seconds

    Time = 300seconds

    t = 300 s or 5 min or 0.0833 hours

    Explanation:

    Power = Energy/time or work/time.

    P = E/t ... Equation 1

    Make t the subject of the equation

    t = E/P ... Equation 2

    Where t = time, E = Work done by the electric motor, P = electric power of the motor.

    Given: E = 1.5*10⁵ J, P = 500 W

    Substitute into equation 2

    t = 1.5*10⁵/500

    t = 300 seconds

    or

    t = 300/60 = 5 min.

    or

    t = 0.0833 hours

    Hence the time it would take = 300 s or 5 min or 0.0833 hours
