An electric toy car with a mass of 6 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 =0.79s

Explanation:

The power is

P=UI

The voltage is U=9V

The current is I=3A

The power is

P=UI=9*3=27W

The kinetic energy of the car is

E=1/2mv^2

The mass is m=6kg

The speed is v=8/3ms^-1

so,

E=1/2*6*(8/3)^2=64/3J

Let the time =(t)s

E=Pt

t=E/P=(64/3)/27=0.79s
