Question
- A certain car has a drag coefficient of 0.32. If you look at it from the front, the car’s cross section looks roughly like a rectangle that is 1.5 m high by 2.1 m across. What is the engine’s minimum horsepower if its top cruising speed is 42 m/s? Take the density of air to be 1.2 kg/m3.
The engine’s minimum horsepower is _______ hp.

- 12. Consider the following situation: A car is moving with a high speed at the bottom of a hill (initial state) runs out of gas and gradually coasts to a stop as it moves up the incline to a location near the top of the hill (final state). Ignore all frictional forces. Which work-energy bar chart below best describes this situation? Chart A Chart B Chart C Chart Darrow_forwardA crate with mass m = 33.3 kg being pushed up an incline that makes an angle φ = 22.7 degrees with horizontal. The pushing force is horizontal, with magnitude P, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the incline is μ = 0.358. Consider the work done on the crate as it moves a distance d = 5.32 m at constant speed. a. What is work done by the pushing force, in joules? b. What is the work done by friction, in joules? c.
