Suppose a car travels 108 km at a speed of 30.0 m/s, and uses 2.20 gallons of gasoline. Only 30% of the gasoline goes into useful work by the force that keeps the car moving at constant speed despite friction. (The energy content of gasoline is
1.30 X 108
J per gallon.)
(a) What.is.the.forçe (in N) exerted to keep the car moving at constant speed? (Enter a number.)
Ex N
Enter a number.
(b) If the required force is directly proportional to speed, how many gallons will be used to drive 108 km at a speed of 28.0 m/s? (Enter a number.)
