To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to power as a function of the change of energy with respect to time. But we will consider the energy in the body equivalent to kinetic energy. The change in said energy will be the difference between the two velocity data given by half of the mass. We will first convert the given units into an international system like this

Initial Velocity,

V_i = 60km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

V_i = 16.6667m/s

Final Velocity,

V_f = 100km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

V_f = 27.7778m/s

Now Power is defined as the change of Energy over the time,

P = \frac{E}{t}

But Energy is equal to Kinetic Energy,

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2} m\Delta v^2}{t}

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2} m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{t}

Replacing,

P = \frac{\frac{1}{2} (900)(27.7778^2-16.6667^2)}{4}

P = 56kW

Therefore the correct answer is A.

Which device provides electrical energy to run an electric circuit
REY [17]

The correct answer is

C. The battery

The battery is a device that provides a potential difference in the circuit, and so an electromotive force (e.m.f.) which pushes the electrons in the circuit from the negative pole towards the positive pole of the battery, so they move through the circuit. Therefore, it provides electrical energy.
