Best Answer

(Air and rolling resistance ignored)

Power required = energy change / time taken

>

Problem:

Power required to accelerate 1000 kg car from 0 to 60 mph ( 26.82 metres / second) in 3 seconds ?

>

kinetic energy gained (energy change)= 0.5 * mass * velocity2,

>

so 0.5 * 1000 * 26.822 = 359656.2 joules

>

Power required = energy change / time taken

= 359656.2 / 3

= 119885.4 joules / second (watts)

= 119.8854 kw (about 161 bhp)
