A funny car accelerates from rest through a measured track distance in time Twith the engine operating at a constant powerP. If the track crew can increase the engine power by a differential amountdP, what is the change in the time required for the run?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The change in the time required fortherun is,

dT=-T3PdP

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that,

  1. Time isT.
  2. Constant power isP.
  3. Engine power increased by differential amount isdP.
02

Determining the concept

The problem deals with the power and the work done. Work, energy, and power are the fundamental concepts of physics. Work is the displacement of an object when force is applied on it. First, evaluate the equation for powerP, then integrating fromlocalid="1657168415126" t=0tot=Twith respect todt, find the solution forT. Next, find the solution for total distanceLtravelled by the car. By putting the equation of T, further evaluate forPT3and differentiating the equations, find the equation forchange in the timedTrequired fortherun.

Formula:

P=dWdt

Where, P is power and dWdtis change in work per unit time.

03

Determining the change in the time required for the run

Fromthegiven information,

P=dWdt

But usingthe work energy theorem, work done is equal to change in kinetic energy, therefore,

W=12mv2

role="math" localid="1657169407831" P=d12mv2dtP=12mdv2dtP=mvdvdt=constant

Therefore, the same condition implies that

dt=mvdvp

Therefore, by integration,

∫oTdt=∫ovmvP=dvT=mv2T2P

Where,VTis the speed of car atT.

Now, write the total distanceLtravelled by the car as,

∫OTvdt=∫ovmv2PdvL=mv3T3P

Taking the square of this equation,

L2=mv3T3P2L2=8P9mmv2T2P3

But T=mv2T2P,

L2=8P9m(T)3 PT3=98mL2=constant

Therefore, differentiating the above equation,

dPT3+3PT2dT=OdT=-T3PdP

Hence, the change in the time required for the run isdT=-T3PdP.
