Question
A 1.50 × 103-kg car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 18.0 m/s in 12.0 s. Assume that air resistance remains constant at 400 N during this time. Find (a) the average power developed by the engine and (b) the instantaneous power output of the engine at t = 12.0 s, just before the car stops accelerating.

Each worker is able to deliver 141 W of power, and the pulley system is 75.0% efficient (so that 25.0% of the mechanical energy is lost due to friction in the pulley). Neglecting the mass of the pulley, find the time required to lift the piano from the street to the apartment. minarrow_forwardA 1.50 × 103-kg car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 16.9 m/s in 11.6 s.
