c.) Find the instantaneous power delivered by the engineat t2 =1.1094s. Answer in units of W.

Explanation / Answer

.    Work done = change in kinetic energy .       = (1/2) m v2  - (1/2) mu2     as initial velocity is (u) = 0 .       =   (1/2) m v2   = 0.5 * 1920 kg * (12.1)2   = 140.5 * 103  J . (b) We know that : .    Power = W / t = 140.5 *103  J / 1.548 = 90.76 *103   W . (c) Instantaneous power delivered is : .    P = W / (t1 ~ t2 )   = 140.5 * 103  J / (0.4386 ) = 320.3 * 103   W
. Hope this helps u!
