2 A car of mass 1200 kg is travelling in a straight line along a horizontal road. At a time when the power of the driving force is 25 kW , the car has a speed of \(12.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and is accelerating at \(1.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\). Calculate the magnitude of the resistance to the motion of the car.
