TopicWork, energy and Power 1

1 A car of mass 1000 kg moves along a horizontal straight road, passing through points \(A\) and \(B\). The power of its engine is constant and equal to 15000 W . The driving force exerted by the engine is 750 N at \(A\) and 500 N at \(B\). Find the speed of the car at \(A\) and at \(B\), and hence find the increase in the car's kinetic energy as it moves from \(A\) to \(B\).
