Question
(a) Ifthe electric motor draws 8.00 kW, what isthe current delivered to themotor? (b) Ifthe electric motor draws 8.00 kW as thecar moves at a steady speed of 20.0 m/s, how far will the cartravel before it is "out ofjuice"?
Explanation / Answer
(a) We know that P = V i 8.0 *1000 = 12 * i => i = 8000/12 = 666.66 A (b) The energy consumed by motor in 1 second = 8000 J Thus the time for which the total energylast t = (2.20 x 107) / 8000 = 2750 sec The distance traveled by car in tsec is s = v * t = 20 * 2750 = 55000 m = 55.0 km
