A pickup truck is traveling down the highway at a steady speed of 30.1 m/s. The truck has a drag coefficient of 0.45 and a cross

-sectional area of the truck is 3.3 m2. Assume the density of the air is 1.2 kg/m 3. How much energy does the truck lose to air resistance per hour? Give your answer in units of MJ (megajoules).

Answer:

The energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to compile the concepts of kinetic energy because of the drag force given in aerodynamic bodies. According to the theory we know that the drag force is defined by

F_D=\frac{1}{2}\rhoC_dAV^2

Our values are:

V=30.1m/s

C_d=0.45

A=3.3m^2

\rho=1.2kg/m^3

Replacing,

F_D=\frac{1}{2}(1.2)(0.45)(3.3)(30.1)^2

F_D=807.25N

We need calculate now the energy lost through a time T, then,

W = F_D d

But we know that d is equal to

d=vt

Where

v is the velocity and t the time. However the time is given in seconds but for this problem we need the time in hours, so,

W=(807.25N)(30.1m/s)(3600s/1hr)

W=87.47*10^6J (per hour)

Therefore the energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
