Question

Staying with the dragster problem...two more... If the dragster did the amount of work you calculated in the previous problem in 4.38 seconds, how much power was generated in Watts?

Answer 1

Answer:

1,439,283.10Watts

Explanation:

The question looks incomplete. We need the workdone to get the power generated.

Power = Workdone/Time

Power = Force * Distance/Time

Let

Force = 24340 Newtons

Distance covered = 259meters

Given

Time = 4.38secs

Required

Power generated

Substitute the given parameters into the formula;

Power generated = 24340*259/4.38

Power generated = 6,304,060/4.38

Power generated = 1,439,283.10

Hence the amount of power generated is 1,439,283.10Watts
