A 1600 kg car steadily accelerates from rest to 60 mi/hr over a 2.8 second time span. How much work is done on the car. The car's mechanical efficiency is 0.20. As the car drives, it gets hotter and it also heats up its environment. If we make the (overly simplistic) assumption that the half of the thermal energy goes out to the wider environment while the car is speeding up, Hint: You can use the mechanical efficiency to find the overall chemical energy used. Using what you found in the previous problem, you can find the total thermal energy produced and from that, plus the assumption about how that energy is distributed, you can calculate the heat transfer. what is the heat transfer from the car to the environment?
