A car of mass 940.0 kg accelerates away from an intersection on a horizontal road. When the car speed is 42.5 km/hr (11.8 m/s),

the net power which the engine supplies is 4300.0 W (in addition to the extra power required to make up for air resistance and friction). Calculate the acceleration of the car at that time.

Answer: The acceleration of the car at that time is 0.39 m/s^2

Explanation:

Power (P) is given by

Power (P) = work done (W) / time (t)

But, work done (W) = force (F) × displacement (d)

Therefore,

Power (P) = (F × d) / t

But, velocity (V) is defined by

Velocity (V) = displacement (d) / time (t)

Hence,

Power (P) = Force (F) × Velocity (V)

P = F × V

Where P is power is Watts (W)

F is force is Newtons (N)

and V is velocity in meter / second (m/s)

To calculate the acceleration, we will first determine the Force, F

From the question,

P = 4300.0W

V = 11.8 m/s

Therefore,

4300.0 = F × 11.8

F = 4300.0 ÷ 11.8

F = 364.407N

From the formula,

F = m × a

Where m is the mass

a is the acceleration

and F is force

Acceleration is given by,

a = F / m

From the question,

m = 940.0 kg

Hence,

a = 364.407 / 940.0

a = 0.39 m/s^2

Answer:

0.39 m/s^2

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of car, m = 940 kg

Speed of car, v = 11.8 m/s

Power supplied by engine, P = 4300 W

To get the acceleration, we must define the relationship between Power and velocity.

Power, P, is given in terms of velocity, v, as:

P = F * v

where F = force

This is because Power is given as:

P = \frac{E}{t} \\\\\\P = \frac{F*d}{t} \\\\\\=> P = F * v

(where E = energy. t = time taken, d = distance moved)

Force, F, is given as:

F = m*a

Therefore, Power will be:

P = m * a * v

Acceleration, a, will then be:

a = \frac{P}{m*v}

a = \frac{4300}{940 * 118} \\\\\\a = 0.39 m/s^2

The acceleration of the car at that time is 0.39 m/s^2

gladu [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the geometric concepts of displacement according to the description given. Taking into account that there is an initial displacement towards the North and then towards the west, therefore the speed would be:

V_T^2=v_N^2-v_W^2

V_T = \sqrt{v_N^2-v_W^2}

Travel north 2mph and west to 1mph, then,

V_T = \sqrt{2^2-1^2}

V_T = \sqrt{3}

The route is done exactly the same to the south and east, so make this route twice, from the definition of speed we have to

v= \frac{\Delta x}{t}

t = \frac{\Delta x}{v}

t = \frac{2*(1mile)}{\sqrt{3}mph}

t = 1.15hour

Therefore the total travel time for the man is 1.15hour.

The picture shows it has a real life something to display conservation of energy  with kinetic energy and potential energy. 


Five sentences are for potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is to energy an object when it stores. Kinetic energy is something to motion. When the potential energy is slows down the potential energy it might be increases. As from the object when the speeds up and it is decreases to potential energy.

Kinetic energy is to calculated by KE= mass×velocity²/2 as a fraction.

Potential energy is to calculated by PE= mass×g×height.

And the another picture it has a <span>energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, conservation of energy.
