As a pickup truck travels along a level stretch of road with constant speed, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for the energy transformations due to friction forces exerted on the pickup truck by the air and the road. If the power developed by the engine is 1.30 hp, calculate the total friction force acting on the pickup truck (in N) when it is moving at a speed of 23 m/s. One horsepower equals 746 W. 32.2 X Since the vehicle is traveling with a constant speed on a level road, the power output is equal to the power input. How is power related to force and speed? N
