This problem compares some energy properties of two motor vehicles: For efficient car, use drag coefficient of .21 and a cross sectional area of 1.5m^2. For a light truck, use drag coefficient of .75 and a cross sectional area of 2.7m^2. Use 1.25 kg/m^3 for the density of air. Determine the top speeds of each vehicle if each vehicle had a maximum usable power output of 100 kW.
