    for the car moving at constant speed

    PowerP = force F x speed V

    so that V = P / F = 3.73x10’4 / 1250 = 29.84m/ sec.

    Power = joules/sec = newton meters/second = Force*speed or velocity.   FV = Power so V = Power/F = 37300/1250 = 29.84m/s

    29.84m/s *1km/1000m * 3600s/hr = 107km/hr

    or about 67miles/hour
