6 A car, of mass 1200 kg , moves on a straight horizontal road where it has a maximum speed of \(40 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) When the car travels at a speed of \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) it experiences a resistance force which can be modelled as being of magnitude 30 v newtons. 6
  1. Show that the power output of the car is 48000 W , when it is travelling at its maximum speed. 6
  2. Find the maximum acceleration of the car when it is travelling at a speed of \(25 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\)
