A car of mass 920.0 kg accelerates away from an intersection on a horizontal road. When the car speed is 39.6 km/hr (11.0 m/s), the net power which the engine supplies is 4100.0 W (in addition to the extra power required to make up for air resistance and friction). Calculate the acceleration of the car at that time.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Power mgh/t

Mg= force

H/t= velocity

Power = force *velocity

Power =4100W

Velocity =11.0m/s

Force =power /velocity

Force= 4100/11

Force= 372.73N

F=ma

a= f/m

a= 372.73/920

a= 0.405m/s^2
