4 A car of mass 700 kg is moving along a horizontal road against a constant resistance to motion of 400 N . At an instant when the car is travelling at \(12 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) its acceleration is \(0.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
- Find the driving force of the car at this instant.
- Find the power at this instant.
The maximum steady speed of the car on a horizontal road is \(35 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
- Find the maximum power of the car.
The car now moves at maximum power against the same resistance up a slope of constant angle \(\theta ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. The maximum steady speed up the slope is \(12 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
- Find \(\theta\).
