Transcribed Image Text:A car with a mass of 900.0 kg climbs a 20.00° incline at a steady speed of 60.00 km/hr. If the total dissipative force acting on the car (due to air resistance and internal friction) add to 500.0 N, what is the power output of the car in watts?
Expert Solution
Step 1

The steady speed of a car is,

v=60 km/hr=16.67 m/s
