Question 5

A battery provides energy to an electric motorcycle.

a.

The electric motorcycle has an acceleration of 3.2 m/s2 when it moves from rest. The combined mass of the motorcycle and its rider is 350 kg.

Calculate the time taken to reach a speed of 24 m/s.

[2]
b.

Calculate the force required to produce this acceleration.

[2]
c.

Calculate the kinetic energy of the motorcycle and rider when its speed is 24 m/s.

[2]
d.

The time taken for the motorcycle battery to be recharged from zero charge to full charge is 5.5 h. The charge is delivered to the battery by a charger with a current of 16 A.

Calculate the charge supplied by the charger.

[3]
e.

Under ideal conditions, the motorcycle can travel a maximum distance of 250 km when the battery is fully charged.

Suggest why, in normal use, the motorcycle needs to be recharged after travelling less than 250 km.
