Answer:
2048.63 N
Explanation:
Force: The product of mass and the acceleration of a body. The S.I unit of Force is Newton(N).
From the question
P = F×V.................... Equation 1
Where P = power generated by the car, F = Total resistive force acting on the car, V = Velocity of the car.
make F the subject of the equation
F = P/V................ Equation 2
Given: P = 75.0 hp = (75×745.7) = 55927.5 W, V = 27.3 m/s
Substitute into equation 2
F = 55927.5/27.3
F = 2048.63 N
Hence the total resistive force acting on the car = 2048.63 N
