An electric toy car with a mass of 3 kg is powered by a motor with a voltage of 9 V and a current supply of 3 A. How long will it take for the toy car to accelerate from rest to 8/3 m/s?

The time is =0.4s

Explanation:

Voltage is U=9V

Current is I=3A

The power of the motor is

P=UI=9*3=27W

Velocity is v=8/3ms^-1

Mass is m=3kg

The kinetic energy of the car is

KE=1/2mv^2=1/2*3*(8/3)^2=32/3J

But,

E=P*t

The time is t=(32/3)/27=0.4s
