1 A car of mass 880 kg travels along a straight horizontal road with its engine working at a constant rate of \(P \mathrm {~W}\). The resistance to motion is 700 N . At an instant when the car's speed is \(16 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) its acceleration is \(0.625 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\). Find the value of \(P\).
