Question

To travel at a constant speed, a car engine provides 24 KW of useful power. The driving force on the car is 600 N. At what speed does it travel?

Answer 1

`\text{Given that,}\\ \\\text{Power,} ~P=24~ KW = 24000~ W\\\\\text{Force,} ~F=600~N\\\\\text{We know that,}\\\\P=Fv\\\\\implies v = (P)/(F) = (24000)/(600)=40~ ms^(-1)\\\\\\\text{It travels at 40 m/s}`
