[单选题]
A race car starts to race on a strair9n -4gcze6mlv 9lqf5bu83e h ght horizontal race trfqqdu4weq8r g: q*a+/ack from rest. The car's engine has a constant power qeawqf :d84*g+/ r uqqoutput and the car experiences a resistive force that increases proportionally with its speed.
Which graph represents the variation with distance s of the power P required by the engine to overcome the resistive force?

A. graph A
B. graph B
C. graph C
D. graph D


参考答案:  D


本题详细解析:

$\underline{\text{Explanation}}$:

The power from the engine to overcome the resistive force $F_{res}$ at any given instant is found from the formula

• $P_{res}=F_{res}v$

Where $v$ is the speed of the car.

At the start of the motion, both the resistive force and speed are zero, and both of these increase with time. Because of the increasing resistive force, however, eventually a terminal speed will be reached where $F_{res}$ and $v$, and therefore $P_{res}$, are all constant.
