1 A car of mass 700 kg is travelling along a straight horizontal road. The resistance to motion is constant and equal to 600 N .
  1. Find the driving force of the car's engine at an instant when the acceleration is \(2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
  2. Given that the car's speed at this instant is \(15 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\), find the rate at which the car's engine is working.
