How much POWER is used in 30 seconds when you complete 150 Joules of work?

Power of 5 watts is used

Explanation:

Mechanical Work and Power

Mechanical work is the amount of energy transferred by a force.

Being F the force vector and s the displacement vector, the work is calculated as:

If both the force and displacement are parallel, then we can use the equivalent scalar formula:

W=F.s

Power is the amount of energy converted per unit of time. The SI unit of power is the watt, equal to one joule per second.

The power can be calculated as:

Where W is the work and t is the time.

It's required to calculate the power used in t=30 seconds when W=150 Joules of work are completed. Substitute in the formula:

P = 5 Watt

Power of 5 watts is used

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).
