Question

SCENARIO: You accelerate from 0-28 m/s in 6.0 seconds (about 0-60 mi/hr) in your 1300 kg car.

a. Create a qualitative energy bar graph for the situation. 

b. what is the conservation of energy equation? 

c. How much power is required to accelerate this rapidly?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

The initial speed is,

u =0 m/s

The final speed is,

v =28 m/s

The time required to accelerate a car is,

t = 6 sec

Mass of the car is,

m = 1300 kg

Formula used:

According to Work-Energy Theorem, Work done is,

W =KW = Kf - KiW =12mvf2 - 12mvi2

Power is the rate of work done,

P = Wt
