The power require to keep the car traveling is 6,666 W.

The power of the engine at the given efficiency is 3,999.6 W.

What is Instantaneous power?

This the product of force and velocity of the given object.

The power require to keep the car traveling is calculated as follows;

P = Fv

[tex]P = 300\ N \ \times \ \frac{80 \ kmh^{-1}}{3.6 \ km h^{-1}/m/s} \\\\ P = 300 \ N \times 22.22 \ m/s\\\\ P = 6,666 \ W[/tex]

The power of the engine at the given efficiency is calculated as follows;

[tex]E = \frac{P_{out}}{P _{in}} \times 100\%\\\\ 60\% = \frac{P_{out}}{6,666} \times 100\%\\\\ 0.6 = \frac{P_{out}}{6,666} \\\\ P_{out} = 3,999.6 \ W[/tex]
