A constant resistance to motion of magnitude 350 N acts on a car of mass 1250 kg. The engine of the car exerts a constant driving force of 1200 N. The car travels along a road inclined at an angle of \(\theta\) to the horizontal, where \(\sin \theta = 0.05\). Find the speed of the car when it has moved 100 m from rest in each of the following cases:
- The car is moving up the hill.
- The car is moving down the hill.
