TopicWork, energy and Power 1

1 A car of mass 1500 kg travels along a horizontal straight road. There are no resistances to the car's motion. The power developed by the car as it increases its speed from \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) to \(30 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) over \(t\) seconds is a constant 5000 W .
  1. Determine the value of \(t\).
  2. Find the acceleration of the car when its speed is \(25 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
