Explanation of Solution

Given:

Mass of the car (mcar) is 1400kg.

Initial speed of the car (V1) is 70km/h.

Final speed of the car (V2) is 100km/h.

Change in time interval of the car (Δt) is 5s.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) is 9.81m/s2.

Calculation:

Calculate the additional power needed to achieve the acceleration (W˙in) using the energy balance equation.

  E˙inE˙out=dEsystem/dtE˙in0=dEsystem/dt

  E˙in=dEsystem/dt=ΔEsysΔt

  W˙in=ΔKEΔt

  W˙in=m(V22V12)2Δt=(1400kg)[(110km/h)2(70km/h)2]2(5s)=(1400kg)[(110×518m/s)2(70×518m/s)2]2(5s)(1kJ/kg1000m2/s2)=77.8kJ/s(1kW1kJ/s)=77.8kW

Thus, the additional power needed to achieve the acceleration is 77.8kW_.

Calculate the additional power needed to achieve the acceleration (W˙in) when the total mass of the car is 700kg.

  W˙in=m(V22V12)2Δt

  W˙in=(700kg)[(110km/h)2(70km/h)2]2(5s)=(700kg)[(110×518m/s)2(70×518m/s)2]2(5s)(1kJ/kg1000m2/s2)=38.9kJ/s(1kW1kJ/s)=38.9kW

Thus, the additional power needed to achieve the acceleration is 38.9kW_.
