Question

A motor of 100 hp moves with a uniform speed 60m/s. the forward thrust applied by the engine on the car is?

Answer 1

Answer:

1243.3 N

Step by step explanation:

Power = 100 HP = 100*746 = $7.46*10^4\:W$.

Velocity = 60 m/s.

Power = Velocity*Force

Force = Power/Velocity

Therefore, Force = $\frac{7.46*10^4}{60}=1243.3\:\:Newton$.

Hence, the forward thrust applied by the engine on the car = 1243.3 N
