Answer:
P = 2288 W
Step-by-step explanation:
The power, P (watts), of a car engine is proportional to the square of its speed i.e.
[tex]P\propto s^2[/tex]
or
[tex]P=ks^2[/tex]
Put s = 35, P = 1760 to find k.
[tex]k=\dfrac{P}{s^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{1760}{35^2}\\\\k=1.43[/tex]
Now put k = 1.43 and s = 40. So,
[tex]P=1.43\times (40)^2\\\\P=2288\ W[/tex]
So, the new power is 2288 W when the speed is 40 m/s.
