Force vs Velocity: Analyzing 750 kg Car on 7.13° Incline

In summary, the force applied to a car on an incline determines its acceleration and velocity. The incline of the surface and the weight of the car both affect the force of gravity and therefore impact the velocity of the car. The formula for calculating force vs velocity on an incline is F = mgsinθ, and this analysis can be useful in fields such as engineering and transportation for designing safe and efficient roads and calculating necessary forces for maintaining desired velocities on inclines.

a car of mass 750 kg moving vith velocity 15 km/hr on inclined paddle (θ=7.13 degrees).at distance of 36" the paddle is attached to reciprocating piston.so how i can find the force exerted by car on piston.piston cylinder dia is .625"...please help me in this matter

A car is moving on a paddle? What is your definition of paddle? I'm trying to understand where you are coming from.
 

1. How does force affect the velocity of a car on an incline?

The force applied to a car on an incline will determine its acceleration and therefore its velocity. The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration and the higher the velocity of the car.

2. Why is the incline of the surface important in analyzing the force vs velocity of a car?

The incline of the surface affects the force of gravity acting on the car. A steeper incline will result in a greater force of gravity, which will impact the velocity of the car.

3. How does the weight of the car influence the force vs velocity relationship?

The weight of the car will impact the force of gravity acting on it. A heavier car will experience a greater force of gravity, which will affect its acceleration and velocity on an incline.

4. Is there a specific formula for calculating force vs velocity on an incline?

Yes, the formula for calculating force vs velocity on an incline is F = mgsinθ, where F is the force of gravity, m is the mass of the car, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and θ is the angle of the incline.

5. How can the analysis of force vs velocity on an incline be useful in real-world scenarios?

Understanding the relationship between force and velocity on an incline can be useful in various fields such as engineering and transportation. It can help in designing roads and highways with appropriate inclines for safe and efficient travel of vehicles. It can also aid in calculating the necessary force for a vehicle to maintain a desired velocity on an incline.
