उत्तर
Energy is the ability to do work. The amount of energy possessed by a body is equal to the amount of work it can do when its energy is released. It is a scalar quantity as it has only magnitude.
The SI unit of energy is Joule (J).

An automobile engine propels a 1000 kg car (A) along a levelled road at a speed of 36 km h–1. Find the power if the opposing frictional force is 100 N. Now, suppose after travelling a distance of 200 m, this car collides with another stationary car (B) of the same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now the car (B) starts moving on the same level road without getting its engine started. Find the speed of the car (B) just after the collision.
A body of mass 10 kg at rest is acted upon simultaneously by two forces 4 N and 3 N at right angles to each other. The kinetic energy of the body at the end of 10 s is
