Chapter 11, Problem 30EP
At highway speeds, about half of the power generated by the car’s engine is used to overcome aerodynamic drag, and thus the fuel consumption is nearly proportional to the drag force on a level road. Determine the percentage increase in fuel consumption of a car per unit time when a person who normally drives at 55 mi/h now starts driving at 70 mi/h.
