Explanation:
First of all, we calculate the work done to accelerate the car; according to the work-energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car:
where :
is the final kinetic energy of the car, with
m = 2000 kg is the mass of the car
v = 60 m/s is the final speed of the car
is the initial kinetic energy of the car, with
u = 30 m/s is initial speed of the car
Soolving:
Now we can find the power required for the acceleration, which is given by
where
t = 9 s is the time elapsed
Solving:
