What
is the average power output of an engine when a car of mass M
accelerates uniformly (a=const)
from rest to a final speed V
over a distance d
on flat, level ground? Ignore energy lost due to friction and air
resistance. Derive a formula for average power Pₐ
in terms of variables: the mass M,
the final speed V,
and the distance d.
Pₐ=Pₐ(M,V,d) ?
Pₐ=Pₐ(M,V,d) ?
Pₐ=W/t
K-Kₒ=W
Kₒ=0
K=½MV²
Pₐ=½MV²/t
V=at
d=½at²=
½Vt
t=2d/V
Pₐ=½MV²/(2d/V)
= ¼MV³/d
