TopicWork done and energy
TypeConstant speed up/down incline
DifficultyModerate -0.3 This is a straightforward application of the power-work-energy relationship with standard mechanics formulas. Part (i) requires simple multiplication (Power × time), while part (ii) involves resolving forces on an incline and using P=Fv, but follows a standard textbook pattern with no novel problem-solving required. Slightly easier than average due to the routine nature of both parts.

10 The engine of a lorry of mass 4000 kg works at a constant rate of 75 kW . Resistance to motion is modelled by a constant resistive force. On a horizontal road the lorry travels at a constant speed of \(24 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
  1. Find the work done by the engine in travelling for 1 minute on the horizontal road.
  2. The lorry travels at a constant speed \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) up a slope of angle \(\sin ^ { - 1 } 0.05\) to the horizontal. Find the value of \(v\).

Part (i):
\(WD = P \times t = 75 \times 60\) M1
\(= 4500\) kJ or \(4500000\) J oe A1 Allow 4500000 for A1 but not 4500.
Part (ii):
\(v = 24 \text{ ms}^{-1}\) so \(F = P/v\) M1* Find resistive force (could be found in (i))
\(= 3125\) A1 3125 seen
N2 with \(P/v\) (used here or later) and component of weight M1*
\(\dfrac{75000}{v} - 0.05 \times 4000g - 3125 = 0\) A1 Correct equation
Solve for \(v\) M1dep*
Hence \(v = 14.6 \text{ ms}^{-1}\) A1 Answer in range [14.6, 14.7]
