A car of mass 700 kg700\text{ kg} is travelling along a straight horizontal road. The resistance to motion is constant and equal to 600 N600\text{ N}.

(i)

Find the driving force of the car’s engine at an instant when the acceleration is 2 m s22\text{ m s}^{-2}.

(ii)

Given that the car’s speed at this instant is 15 m s115\text{ m s}^{-1}, find the rate at which the car’s engine is working.
