Compensate for the mechanical energy loss


If an automobile moves with the constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is employed to compensate for the mechanical energy loss due to frictional forces applied on the car by the air and the road. When the power developed by the engine is 182 hp, approximate the net friction force acting on the car if it is moving at a speed of 25 m/s. One horsepower equivalents 746 W.
