Power Required to Propel Vehicle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Power Required to Propel a Vehicle = (Total Resistance on Vehicle*Speed of Vehicle in Meter per Second)/Transmission Efficiency of Vehicle
P_v = (R_t*V_s)/η_t
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Power Required to Propel a Vehicle - (Measured in Watt) - Power Required to Propel a Vehicle is defined as the power that is needed for a vehicle to propel or move it.
Total Resistance on Vehicle - (Measured in Newton) - Total Resistance on Vehicle is defined as the sum of all the resistances that oppose the forward motion of the vehicle at any given time.
Speed of Vehicle in Meter per Second - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Speed of Vehicle in Meter per Second is defined as the velocity of the vehicle measured in meters per second.
Transmission Efficiency of Vehicle - Transmission Efficiency of Vehicle is defined as the percentage amount of useful energy or work that is transmitted to the vehicle wheels through transmission system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Resistance on Vehicle: 495 Newton --> 495 Newton No Conversion Required
Speed of Vehicle in Meter per Second: 20.2 Meter per Second --> 20.2 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Transmission Efficiency of Vehicle: 0.83 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_v = (R_t*V_s)/η_t --> (495*20.2)/0.83

Evaluating ... ...

P_v = 12046.9879518072

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12046.9879518072 Watt --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12046.9879518072 ≈ 12046.99 Watt <-- Power Required to Propel a Vehicle

What is the power required to propel the vehicle?

The motion of a vehicle on road is resisted by various factors such as wind resistance and road resistance. A moving vehicle has to overcome these resistances and also lift the weight of vehicle, hence comes power for propulsion. A moving vehicle must overcome these resistances and produce this amount of power to propel forward in any direction.
