A 1200kg car with a maximum output power if 88kw. How steep a hill can it climb at a constant speed of 75km/h if the friction forces add up to 650 N
Added by Andrew N.
Step 1
To convert 75 km/h to m/s, use the conversion factor: \[ 75 \text{ km/h} = \frac{75 \times 1000 \text{ m}}{3600 \text{ s}} = 20.83 \text{ m/s} \] Show more…

(II) A 1200 -kg car has a maximum power output of 120 hp. How steep a hill can it climb at a constant speed of 75 $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ if the frictional forces add up to 650 $\mathrm{N}$ ?
Consider a 1200-kg car cruising steadily on a level road at 90 km/h. Now the car starts climbing a hill that is sloped 30° from the horizontal. If the velocity of the car is to remain constant during climbing, determine the additional power that must be delivered by the engine.

A car that weighs W = 8100 N outputs a constant power P = 68 kW moves along a level highway with a constant speed v = 61 km/h. The car encounters a hill inclined at an angle of ̘ = 5.7° with respect to the horizontal. Assume that the dissipative forces on the car (e.g. air drag, friction in bearings, etc) are the same when the car moves up the incline. What is the speed of the car on the hill? Answer in units of km/h.
