उत्तर
Given:-
Mass of van, m = 1500 kg
Speed of van, v = 54 km/h
`=54xx(5/18)=15"m/s"`
Total kinetic energy of the van is given by
`K=1/2"mv"^2`
`K=1/2xx1500xx(15)^2`
K = 750 x 225
K = 168750 J
`K=168750/4.2`
K = 40178.57 cal
Loss in total energy of the van = 40178 cal
`"Loss in energy per second" =40178/10=4017.8approx4000"cal./sec"`
∴ Average rate of production of thermal energy ≈ 4000 cal/sec
