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

Pv = (RTotal*Vs)/ηt

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.
