A train of mass 1600 kg attains a speed of 25 ms\(^{-1}\) in 20 seconds. The power developed in the engine is?
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
where force = f, mass = m, acceleration = a, velocity = v, time = t
Force = m * a β m * \(\frac{Ξv}{t}\)
Power = f * v
P = m * \(\frac{v}{t}\) * v = m * \(\frac{v^2}{t}\)
p = \(\frac{1600 * 25^2}{20}\)
p = 50,000 or 50 KW
