OpenStudy (akohl):

With you so far... what's next

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Can u tell me the value of theta here ?

OpenStudy (akohl):

5

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\(\huge\checkmark\)

OpenStudy (akohl):

So what's the equation

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Rate of work done = power. And power = F.v = \(\sf \frac{W}{T}\)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Force acting on the car will be mg.sin5° = ?

OpenStudy (akohl):

931.85

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Now calculate power by multiplying it with velocity.

OpenStudy (akohl):

I'm getting 74548

OpenStudy (akohl):

Now what

OpenStudy (abhisar):

u converted 80 km/hr into m/s first ?

OpenStudy (akohl):

Oh

OpenStudy (akohl):

Thanks got 21 as my final answer
