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 'Minimum mass of a block'

Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
