Suppose a car travels 108 km at a speed of 20.0 m/s, and uses 1.90 gallons of gasoline. Only 30% of the gasoline goes into useful work by the force that keeps the car moving at constant speed despite friction.

N (b) If the required force is directly proportional to speed, how many gallons will be used to drive 108 km at a speed of 28.0 m/s? gallons
A block rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. A string is attached to the block, and is pulled with a force of 45.0 N at an angle 0 above the horizontal, as shown in the figure. After the block is pulled through a distance of 1.50 m, its speed is 2.60 m/s, and 40.0 J of work has been done on it. F = 45.0 N v=0 0 v = 2.60 m/s -1.50 m- a. What is the mass of the block? b.

Let's work through an example to find the power output of a motor. An electric motor is used to run an elevator. The total mass of the elevator car and passenger is 1350 kg. The elevator moves upward a distance of 27.0 m in 15.88 s at a constant speed. What is the power output of the motor during this time? Let's first find the amount of work done. From the mass of the elevator, we can find the weight of the elevator. Because the elevator is moving at a constant speed, the upward force that is applied to the elevator by the motor must be equal to the downward weight. What is the force (in N) on the elevator by the motor? F= x Think about Newton's second law. Consider the elevator moving upward at a constant speed. What is the acceleration if the speed is constant? What is the net force? If we know the net force, and we know the weight downward, what must be the force upward? N Now, knowing the force, and the distance the elevator moves, we can find the work done by the motor. Remember…
A 24.5 kg child pulls a 3.75 kg toboggan up a hill inclined at 25.7° to the horizontal. The vertical height of the hill is 30.3 m. Friction is negligible. (a) Determine how much work the child must do on the toboggan to pull it at a constant velocity up the hill. (b) Now suppose that the hill is inclined at an angle of 19.6° but the vertical height is still 30.3 m. What conclusion can you make?

A bicyclist starting from rest applies a force of F = 239 N to ride his bicycle across flat ground for a distance of d = 210 m before encountering a hill making an angle of θ = 17 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The bicycle and rider have a mass of m = 120 kg combined. In this problem, you can ignore air resistance and other losses due to friction.How much work, W in joules, did the rider do before reaching the hill? What is the bicycle's speed, v in m/s, just before the hill? If the cyclist starts coasting at the bottom of the hill, what distance, di in meters, does the bike travel up the incline?
