Answer:
The net power needed to change the speed of the vehicle is 275,000 W
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the sport vehicle, m = 1600 kg
initial velocity of the vehicle, u = 15 m/s
final velocity of the vehicle, v = 40 m/s
time of motion, t = 4 s
The force needed to change the speed of the sport vehicle;
The net power needed to change the speed of the vehicle is calculated as;
![P_{net} = \frac{1}{2} F[u + v]\\\\P_{net} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10,000[15 + 40]\\\\P_{net} = 275,000 \ W](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P_%7Bnet%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20F%5Bu%20%2B%20v%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CP_%7Bnet%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Ctimes%2010%2C000%5B15%20%2B%2040%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CP_%7Bnet%7D%20%3D%20275%2C000%20%5C%20W)
Distance is speed x time. Half of the trip is 5.8/2 = 2.9hrs.
640 x 2.9 = 1856mi
580 x 2.9 = 1682mi
1856mi+1682mi=3538mi.
You could also calculate her average speed. This is easy since it was divided in two equal time slices. Average Speed = (640+580)/2 = 610mi/hr
Now 610mi/hr x 5.8hrs = 3538mi
The black squirrel has zero kinetic energy (if it's not moving) and lower gravitational potential energy than the red squirrel or zero gravitational potential energy if the ground is assumed to be zero gravitational potential line.
