Question

a car of mass m has an engine which can deliver power p . what the maximum time in which the car can be accelerated from rest a speed v?

Answer 1

Work, W, is Power, P, multiplied by time, t. The work done by the engine in time t is thus W = P t.

The work energy principle is that the work done on a system is equal to the change in energy, ΔE, of the system.

Since there is no potential energy in this problem, the change in energy is just the change in kinetic energy.

That is ΔE = (1/2) m v2 - 0 = (1/2) m v2.

So (1/2) m v2 = P t and thus t = m v2 / (2 P)

Answer 2

here is the answer.
