A car is traveling at a constant speed of 60 km/h. The car's engine has an efficiency of 25%, which means that 25% of the energy produced by the engine is converted into useful work. If the car has a mass of 1000 kg, what is the power output of the engine in watts?

Assuming that the car is traveling on a level road with no wind resistance, what is the force of friction acting on the car?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

velocity (v) = 60 km/h

                  = (60 × 1000 ÷ 3600) m/s

                  = [tex]\frac{50}{3} \ m/s[/tex]

efficiency (η) = 25%

mass (m) = 1000 kg

Power in physics means the amount of Energy/Work done per unit Time. In another words, the SI unit is Joule/second which can also be written as Watt.

The Power done by the engine in this question can be defined as: moving the 1000 kg car by [tex]\frac{50}{3}[/tex] km in 1 second.

[tex]\boxed{Power\ (P)=\frac{Energy}{time\ (t)} }[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle P=\frac{Force\ (F)\times distance\ (s)}{t}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle P=\frac{mass\ (m)\times gravitation\ (g)\times distance\ (s)}{t}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle P=\frac{1000\times9.8\times\frac{50}{3} }{1}[/tex]

[tex]P=163,333\frac{1}{3} \ W[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{P=\eta\cdot P_{out}}[/tex]

[tex]163333\frac{1}{3} =25\%P_{out}[/tex]

[tex]P_{out}=653,333\frac{1}{3} \ W[/tex]
