An electric toy car with a mass of 2 kg is powered by a motor with a voltage of 12 V and a current supply of 6 A. How long will it take for the toy car to accelerate from rest to 4/5 m/s?

The time is =0.009s

Explanation:

Voltage is U=12V

Current is I=6A

The power is

P=UI=12*6=72W

Velocity is v=4/5ms^-1

Mass is m=2kg

The kinetic energy is

KE=1/2mv^2=1/2*2*(4/5)^2=16/25J

But,

E=P*t

The time is t=E/P=(16/25)/72=0.009s
