The power is
Explanation:
First of all, we need to find the acceleration of the car, which is given by
where
v = 60 mph = 26.8 m/s is the final velocity
u = 0 is the initial velocity
t = 10.0 s is the time
Substituting,
Now we can find the mass of the car by using Newton's second law:
where
F = 5300 N is the force applied
m is the mass
is the acceleration
Solving for m,
Now we can use the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car, to find the work:
And substituting,
Finally, we can find the power output of the car:
where
W is the work
t = 10.0 s is the time elapsed
Substituting,
