Answer on Question #43400, Physics, Mechanics — Kinematics — Dynamics

To travel up a uniform incline at a constant speed of 198 km/h, the wheels of a 1.35 * 10 to the power of 3 kg car generates a driving force of 590 N. What is the power output at the wheels of the car?

Solution

Power can be found as

$P=Fv$

where $F=560$ N is driving force and $v=198$ km/h = 55 m/s. Hence

$P=590\cdot 55=32450W$
