Question
How much electric energy in kWh is consumed by an electrical appliance of 1000 watts when it is switched on for 60 minutes?

Solution
Power,
(P) = 1000 W
= 1 kW
Time duration,
(t) = 1 hr
Now, we can calculate the electrical energy consumed as,
Energy consumed = (Power) (Time)
So,
Energy consumed
= (1)(1) kWh
= 1 kWh
So, energy consumed is 1kWh.

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.
