A car engine produces a constant power of P = 341 hp. The car and motor have a combined mass of m = 1830 kg. 1.) The car starts from rest, after t=5 seconds, what is the cars speed, you may assume no energy is required to spin the tires. 2.) Assume a dragster of mass m=1000kg can accelerate to cover 450 m and accelerate in 7.2 s from a dead stop, how much horsepower is the engine producing, assuming acceleration is constant?
A small car and a semi-truck have the same total mechanical energy. Which of the following CANNOT be true? Question 3 options: The car must be moving faster than the truck and the truck and car are at the same height. The car is going the same speed as the truck and the truck and car are at the same height. The car is going the same speed as the truck and the car is at a higher elevation than the truck. The car is at a higher elevation and both the car and the truck are stationary.
9) A person in good physical condition can put out 100 W of useful power for several hours at a stretch, perhaps by pedaling a mechanism that drives an electric generator. Neglecting any problems of generator efficiency and practical considerations such as resting time, answer the following. (a) How many people would it take to run a 3.00 kW electric clothes dryer? _____ people (b) How many people would it take to replace a large electric power plant that generates 800 MW? _____people
3) When its 75.0kW engine is generating full power, a small single-engine airplane with mass 750kg gains altitude at a rate of 2.50m/s. What fraction of the engine power is being used to make the airplane climb? (The remainder is used to overcome the effects of air resistance and of inefficiencies in the propeller and engine.) Express your answer as a percentage.
The ski slopes at one of the parks in Killington, VT make use of tow ropes to transport skiers to the summit of the hill. One of the tow ropes is powered by a 11-kW motor which pulls skiers along an icy incline (negligible friction) of 14° at a constant speed. Suppose that 18 skiers with an average mass of 48 kg hold onto the rope and suppose that the motor operates at full power. (Hint: A 11 kilowatt motor at full power does 11000 J of work per second.) Determine the force required to pull this amount of weight up the incline at a constant speed. a) 8215 N b) 2048 N c) 8467 N

Answer both or NONE question 1 - For exercise, an athlete lifts a barbell that weighs 400 N from the ground to a height of 2.20 m at a constant speed in a time of 1.60 s. What is the metabolic power, in kW (kiloWatts)? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figure, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. Question 2 - The metabolic power for typing is 150 W for Lili, not a lot as you know probably. How long does it take to burn off the energy in a slice of apple pie, which energy content is 1680 kJ (400 food calorie), in minutes? (Try to stay active, working/studying in front of a computer is not the best exercise you can do for your body.)
1. A 23.0 kg child is playing on a swing with a length of 2.5 m. If the swing starts from rest and makes an angle of 40.0◦ with the vertical at the top of the swing, a) determine the child’s speed at the bottom of the swing neglecting friction. b) If the swing has a speed of 2.8 m/s at the bottom, determine the work done by friction during the downswing and, bonus) assuming the force of friction is constant, determine the maximum angle the swing attains on the upswing after passing through the bottom. Hint: Use the approximation that cos θ ≈ 1 − 1 2 θ 2 for angles given in radians.
