Question

A truck weighing 1000 kgf changes its speed from 36 km h1 to 72 km h1 in 2 minutes.Calculate:(i) the work done by the engine,and (ii) its power.(g=10 ms2)

Open in App
Solution

(i) Mass of the truck = 1000 kg

Initial velocity, u=36 kmph=36×518 m/s=10 m/s

Final velocity, v=72 kmph=20 m/s

Work done = Change in kinetic energy =12m(v2u2)=12×1000×(202102)=1.5×105 J

(ii) Power =Work doneTime=1.5×105120=1250 W
