A van of mass 2700 kg is travelling at a constant speed of 16 ms-' up a road inclined at an angle of 12° to the horizontal. The non-gravitational resistance to motion is modelled as a single force of magnitude of 800 N. Find the rate of work of the engine.
Added by Cristina J.
Step 1
The weight of the van can be calculated using the formula: Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity Weight = 2700 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 Weight = 26487 N Show more…

A 950.-kg car with brakes applied travels at constant speed a distance of 8.00 m downhill along a road that makes an angle of 30.0o below the horizontal. The work W done by the force of gravity during this motion is ______ m/s

A $2000-\mathrm{kg}$ car moves down a level highway under the actions of two forces: a $1000-\mathrm{N}$ forward force exerted on the drive wheels by the road and a $950-\mathrm{N}$ resistive force. Use the work-energy theorem to find the speed of the car after it has moved a distance of $20 \mathrm{~m}$, assuming that it starts from rest.
A tow truck (mass 1500 kg) pulls a car (mass 1000 kg) a distance of 15m along a flat but rough surface at a constant velocity. The total force which resists the car's motion (friction, air resistance, etc.) is 900 N. What is the work done on the car by the tow truck?
