| + | If the wheels roll without slipping, then $\omega$ varies directly with the speed $v$ of the car (in km/hr). Thus, the power of the motor can be expressed as $P(v)=(\alpha-\beta v)v$. (We can use an appropriate unit of force for the terms in parentheses and consequently an appropriate unit of power for $P(v)$.) If air resistance is neglected, then the speed of the car being $70$ km/hr on a horizontal highway means that $P(70)=0$, and so $\alpha=70\beta$. Let | ||

| + | denote the driving force that the motor gives to the car. The fact that the car can barely climb an inclination of $45^\circ$ means that $F(0)=W\sin45^\circ$, where $W$ is the weight of the car only and $W\sin45^\circ$ is the component of the weight of the car down the incline. It follows that $\beta=W/(70\sqrt2)$. To find the speed of the car going up an inclination of $30^\circ$, we solve for $v$ from the equation $F(v)=W\sin30^\circ$; that is, | ||

| + | \[\frac{W}{70\sqrt2}(70-v)=\frac{W}{2}\qquad\Rightarrow\qquad v=70-35\sqrt2,\] | ||
| + | |||
