A car has mass 800 kg. The engine of the car generates constant power \(P\) kW as the car moves along a straight horizontal road. The resistance to motion is constant and equal to \(R\) N. When the car's speed is 14 m s\(^{-1}\) its acceleration is 1.4 m s\(^{-2}\), and when the car's speed is 25 m s\(^{-1}\) its acceleration is 0.33 m s\(^{-2}\). Find the values of \(P\) and \(R\).
