A car of mass 750 kg accelerates away from traffic lights. At the end of the first 100 m it has reached a speed
of 12 m/s. During this time, its engine provides an average forward force of 780 N, and the average force of
friction on the car is 240 N.
a Calculate the work done on the car by the force of its engine.
b Calculate the work done on the car by the force of friction.
c Using ke. = mv2, calculate the increase in the car's kinetic energy at the end of the first 100 m.
d Explain whether your answers are consistent with the principle of conservation of energy.​

Sagot :

the work done on the car by the force of its engine is 78,000 J.

" The work done on the car by the force of friction is 24,000 J.

Increasing the car's kinetic energy at the end of the first 100 m is 54,000J

a. Completed work = force x distance. Engine output = 780 N, that is,

780 N x 100 m = 78,000 J.

b. Completed work = force x distance. Friction force = 240 N, that is,

240 N x 100 m = 24,000 J.

c. Kinetic energy = 1 \ 2 x m x v2

= 1 \ 2 x 750 kg x 12 squared = 375 x 144 = 54,000 J.

How powerful is the engine of a car?

Mainstream car and truck engines typically produce 100-400 pounds. -Torque feet. This torque is generated by the engine piston as it moves up and down on the engine crankshaft, causing the engine to rotate (or twist) continuously.
