An electric toy car with a mass of 2 kg is powered by a motor with a voltage of 1 V and a current supply of 6 A. How long will it take for the toy car to accelerate from rest to 6 m/s?

The time is =6s

Explanation:

The power is

P=UI

The voltage is U=1V

The current is I=6A

The power is

P=UI=1*6=6W

The kinetic energy of the car is

E=1/2mv^2

The mass is m=2kg

The speed is v=6ms^-1

so,

E=1/2*2*(6)^2=36J

Let the time =ts

E=Pt

t=E/P=36/6=6s
