Car Acceleration and Power Analysis

The document calculates the maximum and average power required by a 2-Mg car accelerating uniformly up an incline. The maximum power output is determined to be approximately 90.47 kW, while the average power output is about 56.55 kW, considering the engine's efficiency of 80%. The calculations involve kinematics and equations of motion to derive the necessary forces and power values.

•14–53. The 2-Mg car increases its speed uniformly from


rest to 25 m>s in 30 s up the inclined road. Determine the
maximum power that must be supplied by the engine, which 1
operates with an efficiency of P = 0.8. Also, find the 10
average power supplied by the engine.

Kinematics: The constant acceleration of the car can be determined from

A:
+ B v = v0 + ac t

25 = 0 + ac (30)

ac = 0.8333 m>s2

Equations of Motion: By referring to the free-body diagram of the car shown in


Fig. a,

©Fx¿ = max¿ ; F - 2000(9.81) sin 5.711° = 2000(0.8333)

F = 3618.93N

Power: The maximum power output of the motor can be determined from

(Pout)max = F # vmax = 3618.93(25) = 90 473.24 W

Thus, the maximum power input is given by

Pout 90473.24
Pin = = = 113 091.55 W = 113 kW Ans.
e 0.8

The average power output can be determined from

b = 45 236.62 W
25
(Pout)avg = F # vavg = 3618.93a
2

Thus,
(Pout)avg 45236.62
(Pin)avg = = = 56 545.78 W = 56.5 kW Ans.
e 0.8
