Explanation:
Given
#m->"Mass of the car"=3kg# #V->"The supplied voltage"=9V# #I->"Current supply"=3A# -
#u->"Initial velocity of the car"=0# -
#v->"Final velocity of the car"=5/2=2.5m/s#
Let
#t->"Time taken to gain the final velocity"=?#
Now we know
#"The Electrical Power supplied"(P)=IxxV#
and
#"The electrical energy(E) consumed in t s"=Pxxt#
#"The gain in kinetic energy"=1/2m(v^2-u^2)=1/2mv^2#
Considering that the supplied electrical energy goes to increase the KE of the car.
So
