The engines in high-end sports cars deliver a lot of power. For instance, a certain car of mass 2,058 kg is able to go from an initial speed of 0 m/s to a final speed of 32.75 m/s in only 3.39 seconds. Neglect air resistance and friction. Calculate the average power output, Pavg, of the engine. (Input all of the digits you get into the space below) Pavg W
