An automobile weighing 4000 lb is driven down a 5° incline at a speed of 60 mih when the brakes are applied, causing a constant total braking force (applied by the road on the tires) of 1500 Ib. Determine the time required for the automobile to come to a stop.
b) A truck of total mass 18tonne descends a hill with a gradient of 1 in 14, i.e. a vertical movement of 1m for each 14m of movement along the slope. During this motion, the truck experiences a rolling resistance to its motion of 900N. Whilst travelling at a velocity of 54km/h, its brakes are applied, and the truck is brought uniformly to rest in a distance of 112m. During this period of constant deceleration, it may be assumed that the rolling resistance remains constant at 900N, this being in addition to the retarding force applied by the brakes. Calculate for the truck whilst it is slowing down: a) The vertical height through which it descends. b) Its decrease in potential energy. c) Its initial velocity in m/s. d) Its decrease in kinetic energy. e) The work done against the rolling resistance.
