A car of mass m is driven with acceleration a along a straight level road against a constant external resistance force R.When the velocity of the car is v,why is the rate at which the engine of the car is doing the work (R+ma)v

Force required to oppose the resistive force R and moves with acceleration R+ma.
Power=F*V
             (R+ma)V

Rate of work done =force×displacement /time =force ×velocity. Total force =R+ma Therefore rate of work done =(R+ma) V.
  • 1
P=(R+MA)V
