5 A lorry of mass 16000 kg moves on a straight hill inclined at angle \(\alpha ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. The length of the hill is 500 m .
  1. While the lorry moves from the bottom to the top of the hill at constant speed, the resisting force acting on the lorry is 800 N and the work done by the driving force is 2800 kJ . Find the value of \(\alpha\).
  2. On the return journey the speed of the lorry is \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) at the top of the hill. While the lorry travels down the hill, the work done by the driving force is 2400 kJ and the work done against the resistance to motion is 800 kJ . Find the speed of the lorry at the bottom of the hill.
