A lorry of mass 25,000 kg travels along a straight horizontal road. There is a constant force of 3000 N resisting the motion.

  1. Find the power required to maintain a constant speed of 30 m s-1.

The lorry comes to a straight hill inclined at 2° to the horizontal. The driver switches off the engine of the lorry at the point A which is at the foot of the hill. Point B is further up the hill. The speeds of the lorry at A and B are 30 m s-1 and 25 m s-1 respectively. The resistance force is still 3000 N.

  1. Use an energy method to find the height of B above the level of A.
