An electric toy car with a mass of 4 kg is powered by a motor with a voltage of 2 V and a current supply of 7 A. How long will it take for the toy car to accelerate from rest to 8 m/s?

The time is =9.14s

Explanation:

Voltage is U=2V

Current is I=7A

The power of the motor is

P=UI=2*7=14W

Velocity is v=8ms^-1

Mass is m=4kg

The kinetic energy of the car is

KE=1/2mv^2=1/2*4*(8)^2=128J

But,

E=P*t

The time is t=128/14=9.14s
