Answer

4500000J or 4.5 MJ

Work Step by Step

The formula that will be used here is, P=$\frac{E}{T}$ where P is Power (in watts), E is Energy (in joules) and T is time (in seconds). P=1250 W (from data provided in the question) T= 1 hour or 3600 seconds (as outlined in the question) Rearranging the formula, we get: E=$P\times T$ Substituting the values, E is found to be 4500000 J or 4.5 MJ
