Answer

50 s\text{50 s}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Identify the given values.

    The power delivered by the radiotherapy machine (PP) is 0.2 J/s0.2 \, \text{J/s}.
    The total energy required (EE) is 10 J10 \, \text{J}.

  2. Recall the formula relating power, energy, and time.

    Power is defined as the rate at which energy is transferred or used:

    P=EtP = \frac{E}{t}

    where PP is power, EE is energy, and tt is time.

  3. Rearrange the formula to solve for time (tt).

    t=EPt = \frac{E}{P}
  4. Substitute the given values into the formula.

    t=10 J0.2 J/st = \frac{10 \, \text{J}}{0.2 \, \text{J/s}}
  5. Calculate the time.

    t=50 st = 50 \, \text{s}

    The treatment is done for 50 s\text{50 s}.
