A motor car having a mass of 2 tonnes is being accelerated up a gradient of 1 in 25. At an engine speed of 4 000 rimin the b. P. Is 57 kw the effective tyre radius is 330 mm, the rolling res?stance is 180 n/tonne, and the rear-axle ratio is 4. 4 to 1 assuming a transmission efficiency of 90 % and neglecting air resistance, determine the value of the acceleration at the given speed 262 mls1.



Answer :

The value of the Acceleration at the given speed of 262 m/s will be 0.245 m / s²

Throughout time, the velocity is shifting. In actuality, the velocity is changing by a fixed rate of 10 m/s every second. An object is considered to be accelerating if its velocity is changing; it has acceleration.

Given that:

Mass of car = 2 Tonnes = 2000 kg.

Wheel's power transfer = Efficiency * b.P.

Power = 0.9 * 57000

Therefore, Power = 51300 W

Wheel's angular velocity = (2[tex]\pi[/tex]N  / 60) * (1 / rear-axle ratio)

Angular Velocity = (2[tex]\pi[/tex] * 4000) / 60 * (1 / 4.4)

Therefore, Angular Velocity = 95.15 rad / sec

Wheel:

Power = Torque * Angular Velocity

P = F * Tyre Radius * W

⇒ 51300 = F * 0.33 * 95.15

F = 51300 / (0.33 * 95.15)

F = 51300 / 31.4

Therefore, Force = 1633.76 (by the engine)

Resistance:

Rolling Resistance (Fr) = 180 N/tonne * 2 = 360 N

F₁ = 360N

Gradient Resistance:  

tanθ = 1 / 25

θ = 2.2906°

Fg = mg * sinθ

Fg = 2000 * 9.84 * sin (2.2906)

Fg = 783.37 N

Acceleration (a):

Net force = Mass * Acceleration

F - (Fr + Fg) = 2000 * a

1633.76 - (360 + 783.37) = 2000 * a

a = 490.39 / 2000

Therefore, Acceleration = 0.245 m / s²
