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\%

If an object starts out at rest and accelerates to 100 m/s, what is its initial speed?
e-lub [12.9K]
No. Sadly, you're not right. The whole problem here is the meaning of a few words. "Starts out"is the same thing as "initial" conditions. "At rest" is the same thing as not moving ... zero speed. So if an object starts out at rest, that says that its initial speed is zero ... choice 'b'.
