CAIE A-Level Mathematics AS 4.5.1 Scalar Product Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

A car of mass 1400 kg is moving on a straight road against a constant force of 1250 N resisting the motion.

The car moves along a horizontal section of the road at a constant speed of 36 m s136 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}.

Calculate the work done against the resisting force during the first 8 seconds.
