The motion of a car of mass 1400 kg is resisted by a constant force of magnitude 650 N.

  1. Find the constant speed of the car on a horizontal road, assuming that the engine works at a rate of 20 kW.
  2. The car is travelling at a constant speed of 10 m s-1 up a hill inclined at an angle of \(\theta\) to the horizontal, where \(\sin \theta = \frac{1}{7}\). Find the power of the car’s engine.
  3. The car descends the same hill with the engine working at 80% of the power found in part (ii). Find the acceleration of the car at an instant when the speed is 20 m s-1.
