Resistance to the motion of an automobile consists of road friction, which is almost independent of speed, and air drag, which is proportional to speed-squared. For a certain car with a weight of 12,000 N, the total resistant force, Fis given by F=300+1.8v2, with Fin newton, and, v in meters per second. Calculate the power (in horsepower) required to accelerate the car at0.92m/s2when the speed is 80 km/h.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Horsepower required to accelerate the car at0.92m/s2 is 69hp.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Weight of the car, W = 12,000N
  2. The resistance force,F=300+1.8v2
  3. Acceleration of the car, a=0.92m/s2
  4. Speed of the car, v = 80km/h
02

Understanding the concept of kinematic power

We use Newton鈥檚 second law to find the force applied by the car. The given velocity is in km/h we can convert it into m/s. Using that force and the velocity, we can find power. Then we convert this power to horsepower.

Formulae:

The force due to Newton鈥檚 second law, F = ma (i)

The instantaneous power obtained by the body, P = Fv (ii)

03

Calculation of the power in horsepower

The value of the velocity in m/s is given as:

v=80kmh1000m1km1h3600s=22.22m/s

Now, the mass of the car from given weight is given as:

m=Wg=120009.8=1224.48kg

Now we have to find theapplied force by the car, this can be given as:

Fnet=Fa-F

where, Fais applied force and F is resistance force.

The above equation is given using equation (i) as follows:

ma=Fa-300+1.8v2Fa=(1224.480.92}+300+1.822.222=2315.2327N

So, the power value is given using equation (ii) as:

P=2315.232722.22=5.14104W=5.14104W1hp746W1hp=746W=68.96hp69hp

Hence, the value of the power is 69hp.

A horizontal force of magnitude 35.0 Npushes a block of mass 4.00 kgacross a floor where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.600. (a) How much work is done by that applied force on the block-floor system when the block slides through a displacement of 3.00 macross the floor? (b) During that displacement, the thermal energy of the block increases by40.0 J. What is the increase in thermal energy of the floor? (c) What is the increase in the kinetic energy of the block?

The spring in the muzzle of a child鈥檚 spring gun has a spring constant of 700 N/m. To shoot a ball from the gun, first, the spring is compressed and then the ball is placed on it. The gun鈥檚 trigger then releases the spring, which pushes the ball through the muzzle. The ball leaves the spring just as it leaves the outer end of the muzzle. When the gun is inclined upward by 30oto the horizontal, a 57 gball is shot to a maximum height of 1.83 mabove the gun鈥檚 muzzle. Assume air drag on the ball is negligible. (a) At what speed does the spring launch the ball? (b) Assuming that friction on the ball within the gun can be neglected, find the spring鈥檚 initial compression distance.
