Question

Calculate the power of a train that uses 2MJ of chemical energy in 4 seconds.

Answer 1

Answer:

500 kW

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy of the train, E = 2 MJ = 2×10⁶ J

Time, t = 4 seconds

We need to find the power of the train. We know that,

Power = energy/time

So,

$P=\dfrac{2\times 10^6}{4}\\\\P=500000\ W\\\\or\\\\P=500\ kW$

So, the power of the train is equal to 500 kW.
