Driving on asphalt roads entails very little rolling resistance, so most of the energy of the engine goes to overcoming air resi

stance. But driving slowly in dry sand is another story. If a 1500 kg car is driven in sand at 4.9 m/s , the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.060. In this case, nearly all of the energy that the car uses to move goes to overcoming rolling friction, so you can ignore air drag in this problem.
Required:
a. What propulsion force is needed to keep the car moving forward at a constant speed?
b. What power is required for propulsion at 5.0 m/s?
c. If the car gets 15 mpg when driving on sand, what is the car's efficiency? One gasoline contains 1.4×10 ^8 J of chemical energy.

Answer:

a)  F_p=882N

b)  P=4410W

c)  V_p'=24135 ,n=15.2\%

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass M=1500kg

Velocity v=4.9m/s

Coefficient of Rolling Friction \mu=0.06

a)

Generally the equation for The Propulsion Force is mathematically given by

 F_p=\mu*mg

 F_p=0.06*1500*9.81

 F_p=882N

b)

Therefore Power Required at

 V_p=5.0m/s

 P=F_p*V_p

 P=882*5

 P=4410W

c)

 V_p' =15mpg

 V_p'=15*\frac{1609}

 V_p'=24135

Generally the equation for Work-done is mathematically given by

 W=F_p*V_p'

 W=882*15*1609

 W=2.13*10^7

Therefore

Efficiency

 n=\frac{W}{E}*100\%

Since

Energy in one gallon of gas is

 E=1.4*10^8J

Therefore

 n=\frac{2.1*10^7}{1.4*10^8}*100\%

 n=15.2\%

To reduce inductive reactance, what devices are normally placed on transmission or distribution lines?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer : Capacitors

Explanation : Capacitors are normally  placed on transmission or distribution lines when to reduce inductive reactance.

This is because it enhances electromechanical and voltage stability , limit voltage dips at network nodes and reduces the power loss.

So, we can say that inductive reactance normally replace by the capacitors.
