Driving on asphalt roads entails very little rolling resistance, so most of the energy of the engine goes to overcoming air resistance. But driving slowly in dry sand is another story. If a 1500 kg car is driven in sand at 5.0 m/s, the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.06. In this case, nearly all of the energy that the car uses to move goes to overcoming rolling friction, so you can ignore air drag in this problem.a. What propulsion force is needed to keep the car moving forward at a constant speed?b. What power is required for propulsion at 5.0 m/s?c. If the car gets 15 mpg when driving on sand, what is the car’s efficiency? One gallon of gasoline contains 1.4 × 108 J of chemical energy.

Instantaneous Power

Power is defined in physics as the amount of energy transmitted or transformed per unit time. The watt is the unit of electricity in the International System of Units, equivalent to one joule per second.
