Substitute
The formula of kinetic energy at final point
Substitute
The formula of the potential energy at start
Substitute
The formula of the potential energy at final point
Substitute
The formula of the energy wasted due to friction
Substitute
Substitute
Conclusion:
Substitute
Therefore, the constant friction force for the last
(b)
The highest speed reached by the car.
(b)
Answer to Problem 25AP
The highest speed reached by the car is
Explanation of Solution
The formula of kinetic energy at final point
The body is at the lowest point so the resistive force is taken upto that point only.
The formula of the energy wasted due to friction
Substitute
Write the formula to calculate the final velocity from equation (1) can be written as,
Conclusion:
Substitute
Therefore, the highest speed reached by the car is
(c)
The new values of friction force and highest speed when the weight is
(c)
Answer to Problem 25AP
The new value of friction force is
Explanation of Solution
The mass of the empty car is
The Write the formula to calculate the
Substitute
To calculate the final velocity the equation (2)
Substitute
Conclusion:
Therefore, the new value of friction force is
(d)
The depth of the underground part of the ride.
(d)
Answer to Problem 25AP
The depth of the underground part of the ride is
Explanation of Solution
Consider
The formula of the potential energy at start
Substitute
The Write the formula to calculate the depth
Conclusion:
Substitute
Therefore, the depth of the underground part of the ride is
(e)
The depth of the underground provided is feasible or not.
(e)
Answer to Problem 25AP
No, the depth of the underground provided is not feasible.
Explanation of Solution
No the depth of the underground tunnel provided is not feasible as the total length covered by the car is increased due to which the loss of energy due to friction is increased a lot as compared to the case when the underground path was not there. The non-conventional forces on the car are increased due to the depth provided as the friction in the path of later
Conclusion:
Therefore, the depth of the underground provided is not feasible.

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets?
