Accepted Answer

The work done by a conservative force over a closed path is zero.

Question 12

A 1500 kg car has a front profile that is 1.6 m wide by 1.4 m high. The car's drag coefficient is 0.50, and its coefficient of rolling friction is 0.02. What power must a tow-truck engine provide to tow this car on a level road at a steady 25 m/s if the drive train efficiency is 90%? ($$\rho = 1.2\ \mathrm{kg/m^3$}$$, $$g = 9.8\ \mathrm{m/s^2$})$$

Accepted Answer

$$P = \frac{1}{0.9} \left[ (0.02)(1500)(9.8) + \frac{1}{2}(0.5)(1.2)(1.6 	imes 1.4)(25^2$) ight] 	imes 25$$

Question 15

A box is pulled across a rough surface at constant speed. Which of the following is true about the work done by friction?

Accepted Answer

The work done by friction is negative and equal in magnitude to the work done by the pulling force.

Question 16

Which of the following is NOT a valid reason for zero work being done by a force?

Accepted Answer

The force is parallel to the displacement.
