3 A car of mass 1500 kg has an engine with maximum power 60 kW . When the car is travelling at \(10 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) along a straight horizontal road using maximum power, its acceleration is \(3.3 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\). In an initial model of the motion of the car it is assumed that the resistance to motion is constant.

1. Using this initial model, find the greatest possible steady speed of the car along the road. In a refined model the resistance to motion is assumed to be proportional to the speed of the car.
2. Using this refined model, find the greatest possible steady speed of the car along the road. The greatest possible steady speed of the car on the road is measured and found to be \(21.6 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
3. Explain what this value means about the models used in parts (a) and (b).
