Answer detailly 6

A car, of mass 1400 kg, moves with a steady speed of 20 m s on a straight rough road
6.
with its engine working at a constant rate of 36 kW.
(a) Calculate the resistance R to the motion of the car if the road is horizontal.
Given that R is proportional to the square of the speed v of the car,
(b) show that R-
When the car is descending a straight road inclined at an angle 0 to the horizontal, where
sin 0 - 1/20, and the resistance to the motion of the car remains unchanged, the speed of the car is 16 m s
when its acceleration is 3/7 ms .
(c) Calculate the rate at which the engine is
working.
