An automobile of mass M accelerates starting from rest with a constant power P generated by the engine. Assume that 80% of power generated by the engine accelerates the automobile. The distance covered by automobile in time t is given by?(In terms of P, t, M)

Dear Student ,

Now the distance covered is ,s=v2-u22awhere , v=2Ptm and u=0Now as 80% of the power generated by the engine is used to accelerate the automobile.So we can take that , P'= 80% of the P=4P5So we can write that the disance covered in time 't' is ,s=2P'tm2a=4Pt5ma
