A 710 kg car drives at a constant speed of 23 m/s. It is subject to a drag force of 500 N. What power is required from the car's engine to drive the car

a) on level ground?

b) up a hill with a slope of 2.0°?

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 710 kg

Speed of the car, v = 23 m/s

Drag force, F = 500 N

(a) Let P is the power is required from the car's engine to drive the car on the level ground. Power is given by :

(b) Let P is the power is required from the car's engine to drive the car on up a hill with a slope of 2 degrees.

At this slope, force will be,

Total force will be :

Power is given by :

or

P = 17 kW

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
