SUMMARY
The average power delivered by a 1000 kg sports car accelerating from 0 to 25 m/s in 7.50 seconds is calculated using the formula for power, which is work done over time. The work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy, calculated as 0.5 * mass * velocity^2. For this scenario, the average power is approximately 83.33 kW.
