Question
In Example 11, what is the average power produced by the car?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Average power = work done / time = change in kinetic energy / time = (½ × 400 kg × (20 m/s)²) / 60 s = (200 × 400) / 60 = 80000 / 60 ≈ 1333 W = 1.33 kW.
Hint
The work done is the gain in kinetic energy.
