Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

A car of mass $ ‘m’ $ is driven with acceleration $ ‘a’ $ along a straight level road against a constant external resistive force $ ‘R’.$  When the velocity of the car is $‘V’, $ the rate at which the engine of the car is doing work will be

A

$RV$

B

$maV$ 

C

$(R + ma)V$

D

$(ma - R)V$

A car of mass $ ‘m’ $ is driven with acceleration $ ‘a’ $ along a straight level road against a constant external resistive force $ ‘R’.$  When the velocity of the car is $‘V’, $ the rate at which the engine of the car is doing work will be

Force required to move with constant velocity
Power $ = FV $
Force is required to oppose the resistive force $R$ and also to accelerate the body of mass with acceleration a.
Power = $(R + ma)V$
