A truck is subject to a drag force, Fd, from the surrounding air: where Cd = 0.28 is the drag coefficient, A = 30 ft2 is the are

a of the front of the vehicle, and r = 0.075 lb/ft3 is the density of the air. How much power (in hp) is required to overcome drag if the truck is traveling at v=65 miles/hr? If the truck maintains a constant velocity, how much work (Btu) does the truck require for a 1-hour trip?

Answer:

Power is 15.41 hp

Work is 39205.18 Btu

Explanation:

The power to overcome the drag force is given by the formula:

P = (1/2)ρ v³ A Cd

where,

P = Power

ρ = Density of air = 0.075 lbm/ft³

v = speed of truck = (65 miles/hr)(1 hr/3600 s)(5280 ft/1 mile) = 95.33 ft/s

A = Area = 30 ft²

Cd = drag coefficient = 0.28

therefore,

P = (1/2)(0.075 lbm/ft³)(95.33 ft/s)³(30 ft²)(0.28)

P = (272926 ft².lbm/s³)(1 lbf/32.2 lbm.ft/s²)

P = (8476 ft. lbf/s)(1 hp/550 ft.lb/s)

<u>P = 15.41 hp</u>

Now, for the work of 1 hour:

Work = W = P x time

W = (15.41 hp)(2544 Btu/h / 1 hp)(1 h)

<u>W = 39205.18 Btu</u>

a plane is flying due east in still air at 395 km/h. suddenly, the plane is hit by wind blowing at 55km/h toward the west. what
Sphinxa [80]
Let's be clear:  The plane's "395 km/hr" is speed relative to the
air, and the wind's "55 km/hr" is speed relative to the ground.

Before the wind hits, the plane moves east at 395 km/hr relative
to both the air AND the ground.

After the wind hits, the plane still maintains the same air-speed.
That is, its velocity relative to the air is still 395 km/hr east.
But the wind vector is added to the air-speed vector, and the
plane's velocity <span>relative to the ground drops to 340 km/hr east</span>.

A car mass of 1.2 x 10 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/seconds in 5 seconds. What net force acted on
lorasvet [3.4K]

Net force on the car=F=4.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1.2 x 10³ Kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf= 20 m/s

time = t= 5 s

Using kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

20= 0 + a (5)

5 a=20

a= 20/5

a= 4 m/s²

Now force is given by F = ma

F= 1.2 x 10³ (4)

F=4.8 x 10³ N
