Question

Car companies often advertise how quickly their cars can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour. What effect would doubling the power of a certain car’s engine have on the time it takes for that car to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

As power is the RATE of doing work and the work applied increases the kinetic energy,

If other factors remain constant, (such as no increase in vehicle mass, or parasitic friction) Doubling the power will halve the time it takes to do a certain amount of work
