An engine having 2000kg change it's velocity to 30km/h to 45km/h find What is the work done by engine
Answers
Correct question:-
An engine having mass 2000kg changes it's velocity from 30km/h to 45km/h . Find what is the work done by the engine.
Given:-
→ Mass of the engine = 2000kg
→ Initial velocity of the engine = 30km/h
→ Final velocity of the engine = 45km/h
To find:-
→ Work done by the engine.
Solution:-
Firstly, let's convert the initial and final velocity of the engine from km/h to m/s.
⇒1 km/h = 5/18 m/s
⇒30 km/h = 30×5/18
⇒8.33 m/s [Initial]
⇒45 km/h = 45×5/18
⇒12.5 m/s [Final]
_______________________________
Work done = Change in K.E.
⇒W = 1/2mv² - 1/2mu²
⇒W = 1/2m[v² - u²]
⇒W = m/2[v² - u²]
Where :-
• W is work done.
• m is mass of the body.
• v is final velocity.
• u is initial velocity.
⇒W = 2000/2[(12.5)² - (8.33)²]
⇒W = 1000[156.25 - 69.3889]
⇒W = 1000[86.8611]
⇒W = 86861.1 J
Thus, work done by the engine is 86861.1 J .
