2 The power developed by the engine of a car as it travels at a constant speed of \(32 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) on a horizontal road is 20 kW .
  1. Calculate the resistance to the motion of the car. The car, of mass 1500 kg , now travels down a straight road inclined at \(2 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. The resistance to the motion of the car is unchanged.
  2. Find the power produced by the engine of the car when the car has speed \(32 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) and is accelerating at \(0.1 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\).
