A fully loaded semi-truck has a weight of 80,000 pounds. Let's take a theoretical truck and replace its engine with a 5.0HP engine and a suitable gear box to allow the engine to produce its rated power continuously. The truck will now be driven up the I5 freeway from Santa Clarita to Gorman, an elevation change of 3281 ft. Estimate how long this trip will take. First, convert the English measurements to metric measures: Find the time (in hours) that the trip will take. Would you be justified in neglecting wind resistance in this problem? Why?
