Calculate the power required of a 1400-kg car under the following circumstances: (a) the car climbs a 10° hill (a fairly steep hill) at a steady 80 km/h; and (b) the car accelerates along a level road from 90 to 110 km/h in 6.0 s to pass another car. Assume that the average retarding force on the car is F= 700 N throughout. gsin

a. (i) Give an example of an object that has three forces acting on it, and (1) accelerates, (2) moves at constant (nonzero) velocity, and (3) remains at rest. (ii) In terms of work done distinguish between conservative and non-conservative force.
When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for the mechanical energy loss due to frictional forces exerted on the car by the air and the road. If the power developed by the engine is 195 hp, estimate the total friction force acting on the car when it is moving at a speed of 30 m/s. One horsepower equals 746 W.
Multiple-Concept Example 13 presents useful background for this problem. The cheetah is one of the fastest accelerating animals, for it can go from rest to 31.8 m/s in 3.38 s.

A crate of mass 9.8 kg is pulled up a rough incline with an initial speed of 1.54 m/s. The pulling force is 104 N parallel to the incline, which makes an angle of 20.5° with the horizontal.

In the figure below, a block of ice slides down a frictionless ramp at angle 0 = 50° while an ice worker pulls on the block (via a rope) with a force Fr that has a magnitude of 45 N and is directed up the ramp. As the block slides through distance d = 0.31 m along the ramp, its kinetic energy increases by 60 J. How much greater would its kinetic energy have been if the rope had not been attached to the block? ---Select--- F. A
