A car of mass 1200 kg has a greatest possible constant speed of 60 m s-1 along a straight level road. When the car is travelling at a speed of v m s-1 there is a resistive force of magnitude 35v N.
- Find the greatest possible power of the car. [2]
- The car travels along a straight level road. Show that, at an instant when its speed is 30 m s-1, the greatest possible acceleration of the car is 2.625 m s-2. [3]
- The car travels at a constant speed up a hill inclined at an angle of sin-1(7/48) to the horizontal. Find the greatest possible speed of the car. [5]
