Question

A 0.482-kg toy car is powered by three D cells (4.50 V total) connected directly to a small DC motor. The car has an effective energy conversion efficiency of 58.1%, meaning that 58.1% of the electric energy applied to the motor is converted into translational kinetic energy. After 7.15 seconds, the car, which is initially at rest, reaches a speed of 3.43 m/s. What is the average current supplied to the car's motor?

Explanation / Answer

Potential of battery=4.50V

Mass of car=0.482kg

Final speed of car=3.43 m/s

Total energy of car in motion=
