Question 70

During a specific scientific observation sequence, a spacecraft's Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) releases a total of 18.4 kJ of energy from nuclear decay.

Of this total energy input, 15.1 kJ is wasted as thermal energy radiated directly into deep space.

Calculate the useful electrical energy transferred to the spacecraft's instruments during this sequence.
