Determine the amount of gasoline used to accelerate the car

Reference no: EM13672545

The energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline is 1.3 × 10⁸ Joule. A compact car has a mass of 836 kilogram, and its efficiency is rated at 18.4 percent. (That is 18.4 percent of the input power available is delivered to the wheels.) Determine the amount of gasoline used to accelerate the car from rest to 22.7 m/s.
