A car, starting from rest, accelerates in the +x direction as in the figure. It has a mass of 1.10 × 103 kg and maintains an acceleration of +4.40 m/s2 for 2.60 s. Assume that a single horizontal force (not shown) accelerates the vehicle. Determine the average power generated by this force.

The following link explains the solution to a similar problem and helps you get familiar with the standard formulas used in kinematics.

Well, if I had to calculate the average power generated by this force, I would need to know the force itself. But since you haven't mentioned it, I guess I'll just have to make something up. Let's go with... the force of a thousand tickles! That sounds pretty powerful, right?

Now, we can use the formula for power, which is P = W/t, where P is power, W is work, and t is time. In this case, the work done by the force of a thousand tickles can be calculated using the equation W = F*d*cosθ, where F is the force, d is the distance, and θ is the angle between the force and the displacement.

Since the car is traveling in a straight line, we can assume that θ = 0 degrees, and the cosine of 0 is 1. So, we can simplify the equation to W = F*d.

Now, we need to find the distance traveled by the car during this time. We can use the equation d = v0*t + 0.5*a*t^2, where v0 is the initial velocity, t is the time, and a is the acceleration.

Since the car starts from rest, v0 = 0, so the equation becomes d = 0.5*a*t^2. Plugging in the numbers, we get d = 0.5*(4.40 m/s^2)*(2.60 s)^2 = 14.196 m.

Now we can go back to the equation W = F*d and solve for F. F = W/d = (work of a thousand tickles)/14.196 m.

So, the average power generated by this force would be P = (F*d)/t = [(W/d)*d]/t = W/t = Work of a thousand tickles.

I hope that wasn't too complicated. Just remember, when in doubt, use the power of tickles!

To determine the average power generated by the force, we can use the equation:

Power = Force x Velocity

However, since the force is not given and we are only given the mass and acceleration, we need to find the force first.

Using Newton's second law of motion, we have:

Force = mass x acceleration

Force = (1.10 × 10^3 kg) x (4.40 m/s^2)
Force = 4840 N

Now that we have the force, we can calculate the average power. The car starts from rest, so the initial velocity is 0 m/s. The car's final velocity can be found using the equation:

Final velocity = Initial velocity + (acceleration x time)

Final velocity = 0 m/s + (4.40 m/s^2 x 2.60 s)
Final velocity = 11.44 m/s

Now we have all the required values to calculate the average power:

Power = Force x Velocity
Power = (4840 N) x (11.44 m/s)
Power = 55481.60 Watts or 55.48 kW (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the average power generated by the force is approximately 55.48 kW.

To determine the average power generated by the force, we need to use the equation for power:

Power = Work/Time

Since the force applied is in the horizontal direction, and the car moves in the +x direction, the work done by the force can be expressed as:

Work = Force * Distance

To find the distance traveled by the car, we can use the kinematic equation:

x = xo + vo * t + 0.5 * a * t^2

Where:
x = final displacement of the car
xo = initial position (0 in this case, as the car starts from rest)
vo = initial velocity (0 in this case)
t = time interval (2.60 s in this case)
a = acceleration (4.40 m/s^2 in this case)

Calculating the distance using the above equation:

x = 0 + 0 * 2.60 + 0.5 * 4.40 * (2.60)^2
x = 0 + 0 + 0.5 * 4.40 * 6.76
x = 0 + 0 + 14.904
x = 14.904 meters

Now that we know the distance, we can calculate the work done by the force:

Work = Force * Distance
Work = F * 14.904

The force applied can be calculated using Newton's second law:

F = m * a
F = 1.10 x 10^3 kg * 4.40 m/s^2
F = 4840 N

Substituting the value of force in the work equation:

Work = 4840 N * 14.904 m
Work = 72074.56 Joules

Finally, we need to divide the work by the time to calculate the average power:

Power = Work / Time
Power = 72074.56 J / 2.60 s
Power = 27759.84 Watts

Therefore, the average power generated by the force is 27759.84 Watts.
