Question

A car (m = 2000kg; Cd = 0.3; Ac = 2.5m ^ 2) travels on a flat track at a speed of 100 km / h. Air: 1.2 kg / m ^ 3; u = 1.8 x 10 ^ -5 Pa.s.

 

a) Calculate the power required to overcome the drag. How much power does a 27 km / h head wind blow?

 

b) What is the power required to climb a ramp, with a 5º slope, at 100 km / h? Consider the absence of wind and neglect rolling friction. Tip: Start by calculating the force the engine has to exert.
