An electric toy car with a mass of 2 kg is powered by a motor with a voltage of 9 V and a current supply of 2 A. How long will it take for the toy car to accelerate from rest to 1/3 m/s?

The time is =0.006s

Explanation:

The power is

P=UI

"Power"="Voltage"xx"Current"

The voltage is U=9V

The current is I=2A

The power is

P=UI=9*2=18W

The kinetic energy of the car is

E=1/2mv^2

The mass is m=2kg

The speed is v=1/3ms^-1

so,

E=1/2*2*(1/3)^2=1/9J

Let the time =(t)s

E=Pt

The time is

t=E/P=(1/9)/18=0.006s
