Answer:
K.E = 463.04 k J
P = 23.14 Watt
Explanation:
given,
mass of automobile = 1200 kg
velocity = 50 km/h
= 50 × 0.278
= 13.9 m/s
kinetic energy = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]
=[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1200 \times 13.9^2[/tex]
K.E = 115.93 k J
vehicle accelerated to velocity = 100 km/h
= 100 × 0.2778
= 27.78 m/s
kinetic energy = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]
=[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1200 \times 27.78^2[/tex]
K.E = 463.04 k J
work done = change in kinetic energy
= 463.04 - 115.93
= 347.11 J
Power = [tex]\dfrac{work\ done}{time}[/tex]
Power =[tex]\dfrac{347.11}{15}[/tex]
P = 23.14 Watt
