- No, when we push a huge rock with all our strength but cannot move it, there is no transfer of energy.
- When we push the rock, our muscles tense and blood is displaced very rapidly to these muscles.
- These changes consume energy and we feel tired.

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.
