Understanding Power: Calculating Energy Transfer Rate and Power

The video tutorial explains how to define and calculate the rate at which energy is transferred, using examples like a light bulb, TV, car engine, and lift motor. It introduces the power equation, P = E/t, where P is power in watts, E is energy in joules, and t is time in seconds. The tutorial demonstrates calculations for energy transfer over different time periods and provides practical examples to illustrate the concepts.

What is the power of the TV when it uses 150,000 joules over 10 minutes?

Calculate the energy transferred by a car's engine with a power of 66,000 watts in three minutes.

How long does it take for a lift powered by a 2,700-watt motor to gain 120,000 joules of gravitational potential energy?
