How to Calculate the Power of a Truck Traveling Uphill at 100 km/h?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the power of a truck traveling uphill at 100 km/h with an engine force of 2500 N, the formula used is Power = Force x Velocity. Converting 100 km/h to meters per second gives approximately 27.78 m/s. Multiplying the force (2500 N) by the velocity (27.78 m/s) results in a power output of about 69,450 watts or 69.45 kW. Clarification was needed on the speed unit, which was initially misstated as km/k instead of km/h. The discussion centers on applying basic physics principles to determine the truck's power under specified conditions.

Calculate the power of a truch that travels at a constant speed of 100km/h up a hill if the engin exerts a force of 2500N on the truck.


Can anyone help me on this question?

First of all, I would like to know what km/k is.
 
my bad...km/h...typo hehe
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
