A 10% efficient engine accelerates a 1500kg car from rest to 15m/s. How much energy is transferred to the engine by the burning gasoline?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The input energy is 1687.5 kJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 1500 kg

Speed of car = 15 m/s

Efficiency = 10 %

Now output is equal to work done

We need to calculate the work done

Using work energy theorem.

Work done = change in kinetic energy

[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2[/tex]

[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_{f}^2-v_{i}^2)[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1500\times(15)^2[/tex]

[tex]W=168750\ J[/tex]

Now we know that efficiency is given by

[tex]\eta=\dfrac{Out-put}{in-put}\times100[/tex]

[tex]In-put=\dfrac{out-put}{\eta}\times100[/tex]

[tex]In-put=\dfrac{168750}{10}\times100[/tex]

[tex]In-put=1687500\ J[/tex]

Hence, The input energy is 1687.5 kJ.

The energy is transferred to the engine by the burning gasoline is 1687500 J.

The work done can be calculated by the work-energy theorem,

[tex]\bold {W = \dfrac 1{2}m(v_f^2- v_i^2) }[/tex]

Where, m - mass

[tex]\bold {\v_f}[/tex][tex]\bold {v_f}[/tex] - final velocity

[tex]\bold {v_i}[/tex] - initial velocity

Put the values in the formula,

[tex]\bold {W = \dfrac 1{2}1500 (15^2- 0^2) }\\\\\bold {W = 168750\ J}[/tex]

The efficiency of car can be calculated by the formula,

[tex]\bold {\eta = \dfrac {E_o}{E_i}\times 100}\\\\\bold {E_i = \dfrac {E_o}{\eta} \times 100}\\\\\bold {E_i = \dfrac {168750}{10} \times 100}\\\\\bold {E_i = 1687500 J}[/tex]

Therefore, the energy is transferred to the engine by the burning gasoline is 1687500 J.
