As a 75 slug car travels along a horizontal, 3200 ft section of road, it changes speed from 5 mph to 60 mph. During this acceleration, the car gets an average MPG of 15 MPG. How efficient is the car’s engine during the acceleration assuming 1 gallon of gasoline produces 120 MJ of energy when completely combusted in air?
