A 1000kg sports car accelerates from 0 to 25m/s in 7.5s what is the average power delivered by the engine?


i know that POWER= W/delta T =Fv but im not sure how to calculate W can someone help me out with this one?

For W, compute the increase in kinetic energy of the car during the 7.5 second interval.

W = (1/2) * 1000 kg * (25*25) m^2/s^2
firet we find the K.E = 0.5*1000*25^2

the P = delta K.E over the time
the answer is 4.17*10^4 W
