Calculate the power in kilowatts required by an experimental car to achieve a driving speed of
80.46(m)/(s)(180mph)in still air at
10\deg C(1atm). The data concerning the car are: Mass of the car
=2200kgFrontal area of the car
=2.5m^(2)Plan view area of the car
=8m^(2)Profile view area of the car
=5m^(2)Drag coefficient
C_(d)=0.20Coefficient of rolling resistance
C_(r)=0.02Note: the data given can be more than you need for answering this question. (15 points)
