Question

When a 100 metric ton flying saucer reaches an altitude of 75 km over Earth's surface. At that moment the saucer has a velocity of 9000 km/hr. If the friction force is 500,000 N, how much force was needed to propel the saucer upward? At a ski resort a chair lift takes skiers up a 30 degree hillside to an elevation of 180 m as shown in figure 1. How much horsepower must the engine have to pull 50 skiers at a time, at a speed of 4.0 m/s, if the average mass of each skier and their equipment is 82 kg each and the frictional energy loss is 3.6 MJ (Mega-Joules)? [120.360 W = 163.6 hp]. Starting from rest a 1500 kg car moves down a level street under the influence of two forces: a 1000 N forward force exerted on the drive wheels and a 800 N resistive force. a. What is the speed of the car after it has traveled 40 m? [3.266 m/s] b. At the 40 m point the engine switches off and the car coasts up an incline of 7.0 degree. If the resistive force (not the energy) on the incline is 20% less than on the level street, how far along the incline will the car travel? [3.29 m]

Explanation / Answer

From the given question,

mass(m)=100000 kg

height(h)=75km=75000 m

velocity(v)=9000 km/hr= 2500 m/s

Frictional force(F)=500,000 N

Driving force * displacement= change in kinetic energy + work done against friction

Fd*h= (1/2)mv2+ Ff*h + mgh

Fd * 75000= (1/2)(100000)(25002) + (500000)(75000) + 100000*9.8*75000

Fd=5.647 x 106 N

Driving force is 5.647 x 106 N

4.mass(m)=1500 kg

net force(F)=Driving force- resistive force

=1000-800

=200N

acceleration= F/m=200/1500

=2/15

initial velocity(u)=0

v2=u2+2as

v2=02+2(2/15)(40)

v=3.266 m/s

On the incline plane, resistive force Fr= 0.8*800=640 N

a= -(gsin7+640/1500)

v2=u2+ 2as

0=(3.266)2 - 2(9.8*sin7+(640/1500))(s)

s=3.29 m
