Question

A car of mass 750 kg accelerates away from traffic lights. At the end of the first 100 m it has reached a speed

Answer 1

the work done on the car by the force of its engine is 78,000 J.

" The work done on the car by the force of friction is 24,000 J.

Increasing the car's kinetic energy at the end of the first 100 m is 54,000J

a. Completed work = force x distance. Engine output = 780 N, that is,

780 N x 100 m = 78,000 J.

b. Completed work = force x distance. Friction force = 240 N, that is,

240 N x 100 m = 24,000 J.

c. Kinetic energy = 1 \ 2 x m x v2

= 1 \ 2 x 750 kg x 12 squared = 375 x 144 = 54,000 J.

How powerful is the engine of a car?

Mainstream car and truck engines typically produce 100-400 pounds. -Torque feet. This torque is generated by the engine piston as it moves up and down on the engine crankshaft, causing the engine to rotate (or twist) continuously.
