An electric scooter has a battery capable of supplying 105 Wh of energy. If friction forces and other losses account for 60.0% of the energy usage, what altitude change can a rider achieve when driving in hilly terrain, if the rider and scooter have a combined weight of 950 N?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The altitude is 159.15 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

60% Energy lost due to the friction and other losses, which means we have only 40% Energy is available to use, so

Energy = 405 of 105 Wh

Energy losses is

[tex]E = 105\times\dfrac{40}{100}[/tex]

[tex]E=42\ Wh[/tex]

We need to calculate the   energy in joules

[tex]E=42 Wh\times\dfrac{3600 J}{Wh}[/tex]

[tex]E=151200\ J[/tex]

We need to calculate the height

Using formula of energy

[tex]E = mgh[/tex]

[tex]h=\dfrac{E}{mg}[/tex]

[tex]h=\dfrac{151200}{950}[/tex]

[tex]h=159.15\ m[/tex]

Hence, The altitude is 159.15 m.
