5 A car of mass 4000 kg travels up a line of greatest slope of a straight road inclined at an angle of \(\theta\) to the horizontal, where \(\sin \theta = 0.1\).
The power developed by the car's engine is constant and the resistance to the motion of the car is constant and equal to 850 N . The car passes through a point A on the road with speed \(18 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) and acceleration \(0.75 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\).
  1. Calculate the power developed by the car. The car later passes through a point B on the road with speed \(25 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The car takes 17.8 s to travel from A to B .
  2. Find the distance AB .
