The Steady speed of a car moving up a hill, with a slope of 12° to the horizontal,  whose output power is 6.5Ă10â´ W and whose mass is 950 kg is A. 7.0 m/s
Speed: This can be defined as the ratio of distance to the time travelled by a body. The S.I unit of speed is m/s
- The question above can be solved using the formula below
[tex]P = (mgcosx)V[/tex].................... Equation 1
Where P = output Power of the engine, m = mass of the car, g = acceleration due to gravity, x = angle of the hill with the horizontal, V = steady speed of the car.
- Make V the subject of the equation
[tex]V = P/mgcosx[/tex]............... Equation 2
From the question,
- Given: P = 6.5Ă10â´ W, m = 950 kg, x = 12°                    Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
- Substitute the values into equation 2
[tex]V = (6.5*10^{4} )/(950*9.8*cos12)[/tex]
[tex]V = 65000/9106.55[/tex]
[tex]V = 7.13 m/s[/tex]
From the question, the right option is A. 7.0 m/s
Hence the steady speed of the car is 7.0 m/s
