Answer:
The average power of the engine of the sports car is 56.32 kW
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the sports car, m = 1100 kg
initial velocity of the sports car, u = 0 m/s
final velocity of the sports car, v = 32 m/s
time of motion, t = 10 s
The kinetic energy of the car is given by;
K.E = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)
K.E = ¹/₂mv²
K.E = ¹/₂ x 1100 x 32²
K.E = 563200 J
The average power of the engine of the sports car is given by;
Pavg = Energy / time
Pavg = 563200 / 10
Pavg = 56320 W
Pavg = 56.32 kW
Therefore, the average power of the engine of the sports car is 56.32 kW
