Problem

A car of mass 1200 kg1200\,\text{kg} is travelling at 10 m s−110\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}. The engine delivers a constant useful mechanical power of 50 kW50\,\text{kW} for 12 s12\,\text{s}. (i) Calculate the increase in the car's kinetic energy during this interval. (ii) Determine the speed of the car at the end of the 12 s12\,\text{s} period.
