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 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
