QUESTION 15
60 Joules of light energy from the sun is used to bring a solar-powered car from rest to a constant velocity. If 15 Joules of the light energy became thermal energy during this process, and the final
velocity of the car is 2.6, what is the mass of the car?

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

Out of 60 J energy, 15 J energy is converted into thermal energy. Hence, the rest of the energy is used to change the velocity of the car.
