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>

During what era did the French and Indian War occur?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
<span>French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war’s expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.</span>

Why x ray is called an electromagnetic wave<br>​
Dahasolnce [82]
Because they behave just like all the electromagnetic waves of the spectrum. Same equations, just shorter wavelengths and more energy.

Hope you get it :)

Jack has two boxes. One is 148g and one is 78g. If jack pushes both boxes with the same amount of force, which will accelerate f
Step2247 [10]
The 78g box, since it has less weight, would accelerate faster. If you had a frictionless surface, and you conducted this experiment, both boxes, without any outside forces, would accelerate at the same rate forever. However, in this problem we must assume the surface is not frictionless. Friction is determined by weight; the more weight, the more friction. Since the 78g box has less weight, it has less friction, making it easier to push with less force.
