Calculate the power required to accelerate the car


Resistance to the motion of an automobile consists of road friction, which is almost independent of speed, and air drag, which is proportional to speed-squared. For a certain car with a weight of 12000 N, the total resistant force F is given by F = 300 + 1.8v2, with F in newtons and v in meters per second. Calculate the power (in horsepower) required to accelerate the car at 0.90 m/s2 when the speed is 84 km/h.
