Direction: -Answer the question in two to three sentences only.arrow_forwardShow detailed and organized solution with illustration. Note: express in three decimal places. The total energy required to move a 10-N block up a 25-degree incline for 10 meters is 500 Joule. A frictional force of 10-N opposes the motion of the block. Determine force (parallel the inclined) required to move the block, the rate of work done if the work was done in 10 seconds and the initial velocity of the block if its velocity at 10 meters is 30 m/s.arrow_forward1) Prof. K. took a Tesla Model S for a test drive. The car weighs 4,500 lb and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.27 seconds. The car has a 581 kW battery pack. Help Prof. K. determine the efficiency of the vehicle [Ans. to Check 55.5%]. Note: The equation we learned in class P = E v ONLY APPLIES if velocity is constant. Use the steps below to guide your thought process. Develop a symbolic relationship for the force required to move the car forward. Compute the work done by the car (in Ib-ft). Calculate the power required to do this work (in kW).arrow_forward
