Problem Solving

1.) A net force of 7.5 kN, west acts on a 1208 kg race car. At what rate will the car accelerate?

2.) A car, mass 1485 kg, travelling south at 116 km/h, slows to a stop in 10.25 seconds. What is the magnitude and
direction of the net force that acted on the truck?
3. Box having mass 3kg thrown with an initial velocity 10 m/s on an inclined plane. If the box passes from the point
B with 4m/s velocity, find the work done by friction force.

We use conservation of energy theorem.

EA=EB+Wfriction
Wfriction=1/2.m.V2-(mgh+1/2mVL2)
Wfriction=1/2.3.102-(3.10.2+1/2.3.42)
Wfriction=66 joule

4. A new conveyor system at the local packaging plan will utilize a motor-powered mechanical arm to exert an
average force of 890 N to push large crates a distance of 12 meters in 22 seconds. Determine the power output
required of such a motor.

490 W (rounded from 485 W)

5. Calculate the energy consumption in a system that consumes 190 Watts of power and works for 3 hrs a day.

Solution:

Given: Power P = 190 W, thth/day = 3 hrs.

The energy consumption is given by,

E(kwh/day)E(kwh/day) = Pw×t(h/day)1000(W/kW)Pw×t(h/day)1000(W/kW)

E(kwh/day)E(kwh/day) = 190×3×60×601000190×3×60×601000

E(kwh/day)E(kwh/day) = 2052 J.

Therefore, the energy consumption is 2052 J.

6. A toy car consumes energy of 500 Watts of power if it works for 2 hrs a day using it. Calculate the energy
consumption a day.

Solution:

Given: Power P = 500 W, thth/day = 2 hrs.

The energy consumption is given by,

E(kwh/day)E(kwh/day) = Pw×t(h/day)1000(W/kW)Pw×t(h/day)1000(W/kW)

E(kwh/day)E(kwh/day) = 500×2×60×601000500×2×60×601000

E(kwh/day)E(kwh/day) = 3600 J.

Therefore, the energy consumption is 3600 J.
