  1. A car of mass 1200 kg moves along a straight horizontal road. The resistance to motion of the car from non-gravitational forces is of constant magnitude 600 N . The car moves with constant speed and the engine of the car is working at a rate of 21 kW .
    1. Find the speed of the car.
    The car moves up a hill inclined at an angle \(\alpha\) to the horizontal, where \(\sin \alpha = \frac { 1 } { 14 }\).
    The car's engine continues to work at 21 kW , and the resistance to motion from nongravitational forces remains of magnitude 600 N .
  2. Find the constant speed at which the car can move up the hill.
