7 A car has mass 1200 kg . When the car is travelling at a speed of \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), there is a resistive force of magnitude \(k v \mathrm {~N}\). The maximum power of the car's engine is 92.16 kW .
  1. The car travels along a straight level road.
    1. The car has a greatest possible constant speed of \(48 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\). Show that \(k = 40\).
    2. At an instant when its speed is \(45 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), find the greatest possible acceleration of the car. [3]
