$\mathrm{A} 710 \mathrm{kg}$ car drives at a constant speed of $23 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. It is subject to a drag force of $500 \mathrm{N}$. What power is required from the car's engine to drive the car a. On level ground? b. Up a hill with a slope of $2.0^{\circ} ?$
Determine the power required for a 1150-kg car to climb a 100-m-long uphill road with a slope of 30° (from horizontal) in 12 s (a) at a constant velocity, (b) from rest to a final velocity of 30 m/s, and (c) from 35 m/s to a final velocity of 5 m/s. Disregard friction, air drag, and rolling resistance.

Determine the power required for a 1150 -kg car to climb a 100 -m-long uphill road with a slope of $30^{\circ}$ (from horizontal) in $12 \mathrm{s}(a)$ at a constant velocity, $(b)$ from rest to a final velocity of $30 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$, and $(c)$ from $35 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ to a final velocity of $5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. Disregard friction, air drag, and rolling resistance.
