A 1100 kg car starts from rest and accelerates for 5 seconds at 4.6m/s/s how much power does the car generate

The power expended by the car during the acceleration is 116.38KW

Explanation:

Power is a term that defines the rate at which energy is expended whenever work is done.

Power can be given as Force X velocity.

Force can be found using the formula:

F = mass X acceleration.

In this case,

F = 1100kg X 4.6m/s2

F = 5060 N

The final velocity, v of the car can be obtained from this formula:

v = u+ at

U = initial velocity = 0 (since the car started from rest)

a = acceleration = 4.6m/s2

t = time = 5 seconds

v = 0 + 4.6 X 5 = 23 m/s

Therefore, the power expended is 5060N X 23m/s=116,380W

The power expended by the car during the acceleration is 116.38KW

Explanation:

Correct option is

B

1m/s

2

in the given question we have

u=36 km/hr =36×

18

5

m/s=10m/s

v= 72 km/hr=72×

18

5

m/s=20m/s

t=10 s

a=?

we know the formula

v= u +at

20 = 10+ a 10

20-10 =10 a

10 = 10 a

a = 1 m/s
