Consider a 1,931 kg car cruising at constant speed of 69 km/h. Now the car starts to pass another car, by accelerating to 112 km/h in 9 s.Neglect air drag and friction and assume the road is level. By taking-the entire car as the system and applying an energy balance, determine the additional power (kW) needed to achieve this acceleration to 1 decimal-place. (note: 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h).I
