Q.

1: Find the power output engine of a 1200 Kg car, while the car accelerate from 30 km/hr to 100
km/h in 10 Second?

Ans: Data :

M = 1200 Kg
30  1000
V1 = 30 Km/h = = 8.33 m/s
3600
100  1000
V2 = 30 Km/h = = 27.78 m/s
3600
t = 10 S

An Engine accelerates most to do accelerate car from V1 to V2
