The power, P (watts), of a car engine is proportional to the square of its
speed, s(m/s). When s=25, P=1800. Work out the speed (to 1 DP) when the power is 2000 watts.

The speed when the power is 2000watts is 22.5m/s

Subject of formula

If the power, P (watts), of a car engine is proportional to the square of its

speed, s(m/s), this is expressed as:

P = k/s

When s=25, P=1800 then;

1800 = k/25
k = 25 * 1800
k = 4500

In order to calculate the speed when the power is 2000;

s = k/p
s= 4500/2000
s = 22.5m/s

Hence the speed when the power is 2000watts is 22.5 m/s
