- A lorry has mass 5000 kg .
In all circumstances, when the speed of the lorry is \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), the resistance to motion of the lorry from non-gravitational forces is modelled as having magnitude \(490 v\) newtons.
The lorry moves along a straight horizontal road at \(12 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\), with its engine working at a constant rate of 84 kW .
Using the model,
- find the acceleration of the lorry.
Another straight road is inclined to the horizontal at an angle \(\alpha\) where \(\sin \alpha = \frac { 1 } { 14 }\)
With its engine again working at a constant rate of 84 kW , the lorry can maintain a constant speed of \(V \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) up the road.
Using the model, - find the value of \(V\).
