Question:

A 200 kg wagon climbs up a hill of slope 30-degrees in 1 minute at a speed of 10 m/s. How much power is delivered by the engine? (Assume g = 10m/s2)

Options:

40 kW

20 kW

26 kW

10 kW

Correct Answer:

20 kW

Explanation:

Weight of car = m x g

    = 200 x 10 = 2000 N

Total force (F) = 2000 N

Velocity (v) = 10 m/s

P = F x v

    = 2000 x 10 = 20000 W 

    = 20 kW.
