Problem
2.
A car of mass 900kg is moving down a straight road which is inclined at an angle α to the horizontal, where sinα=121
The engine of the car is working at a constant rate of 15kW.
The resistance to the motion of the car is modelled as a constant force of magnitude 400N.
Find the acceleration of the car at the instant when it is moving at 16ms−1

题目中文翻译
质量为 900kg 的汽车沿一条与水平面成 α 角的直路下坡,其中 sinα=121。
汽车发动机以恒定功率 15kW 工作。
将汽车所受的运动阻力视为大小为 400N 的恒力。
求汽车以 16ms−1 的速率行驶的瞬间的加速度。

发动机功率先从千瓦换成瓦,再除以瞬时速率求牵引力。汽车下坡,重力沿坡分量与牵引力同向,阻力反向。

The driving force at 16 m s−1 is
F=1615000=937.5 N.
Taking down the road as positive and applying Newton’s second law,
F+900gsinα−400=900a.
With sinα=1/12,
937.5+900(9.8)(121)−400=900a.
Therefore
a=1.41 m s−2 down the road.
