Question 1 Report

An engine of a car of power 80 kW moves on a rough road with a velocity of 32 ms-1. The forces required to bring it to rest is
Answer Details
In terms of dimension: power , P, = ML2T3
Force F1 = MLT-2; Vel, V, LT-1
From the above, => P = F x V
i.e, ML2T-3 = MLT-2 x LT-1
ML2T-3
=> 80,000 = F x 32
? F = 80,000
32

= 2500N
= 2.50 x 103N
