A family in Charlotte wants to drive to a campsite next to Mt. Mitchell. Their trip will take them 2km up in elevation. They have the choice of taking their Tesla (EV), which when fully charged has 100 kWh of stored energy in the batteries (and for this problem is 100% efficient at converting its stored energy into kinetic energy) and a mass of 2200kg, or their choice of taking their Ford F-150. Gasoline has an energy density of 34.2 Megajoules per liter. The Ford's fuel tank contains 23 gallons. Assume the Ford’s engine is able to convert 30% of the energy stored in its gasoline tank into kinetic energy (typical efficiency for gasoline engines), with the rest of the stored energy in the gasoline lost to heat. The mass of the Ford is about 2000kg. They are going to tow their big pop-up trailer to the campsite. For this question, assume that each vehicle must use a combined 79 kWh of energy to combat the wind resistance of moving at 75 mph with the trailer for the whole drive, and to…

A thin non-conducting rod of mass m and length L = 60 cm slides frictionl essly at a constant speed V = 0.8 m/s along the rails placed on the surface and at the edges of an inclined plane with the effect of an external force. The rails at the edges of the inclined plane are connected with each other via the rail at the bottom edge of the plane, so the rod and rails forms a rectangular closed loop as seen in the figure.
