Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

Original KE = (1/2) (1430 kg) (7.5 m/s)²  =  40,218.75 joules

Final KE  =  (1/2) (1430 kg) (11.0 m/s)²  =   86,515 joules

Work done during the acceleration = (40218.75 - 86515) = 46,296.25 joules

Power = work/time = 46,296.25 joules / 9.3 sec  =  4,978.1 watts .
_______________________________

One interesting thing to notice while you're (I'm) solving this problem
is the fact that although the car's speed only increased by about 47%,
its kinetic energy more than doubled ... increased by about 115%. 
That's because kinetic energy is proportional to the SQUARE of the
speed.

Imagine you are standing in the antarctic during the southern hemisphere summer. the sky is clear and blue. there are no clouds
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The shadow will appear dark

Explanation:

Your shadow is caused by your body blocking incident light rays from reach the ground under the shadow area. The absence of light means there will be no light reflected from the ground making it appear dark.

The velocity of an object is positive and steadily increasing. Which of the following graphs represents how the acceleration of
stiv31 [10]
If an object's velocity is steadily increasing it means that the acceleration is constant at a certain value.

Choice A shows an acceleration of zero which would only be true if the object was not moving or if its velocity was not changing.

Choice B gives us a graph showing acceleration increasing over time and is therefore incorrect.

Choice C is correct because the acceleration is constant. Steadily increasing tells us that the acceleration is fixed at a certain value.

Choice D is incorrect an represents a constant negative acceleration. This would be the case if the object was steadily decreasing in velocity.
