Consider a 1,492 kg car cruising at constant speed of 59 km/h. Now the car starts topass another car, by accelerating to 124 km/h in 9 s. Neglect air drag and friction andassume the load is level. By taking the entire car as the system and applying an energybalance, determine the additional power (kW) needed to achieve this acceleration to 1decimal place. (note: 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h).
