(1) the speed of the car at a constant speed v=72km/h=20m/s,

From P=Wt=Fst=Fv, traction:

f = Pv = 18× 103 w20m/s = 900n,

Because the car is driving at a constant speed, resistance and traction are a pair of balanced forces, and the two forces are equal in size.

So the resistance of the car f = f = 900 n;

(2) Work done by towing100km:

w = Fs = 900n× 100× 103m = 9× 107j,

Heat released by burning 7.5 liters of gasoline:

Q amplifier = VQ = 7.5l× 4×107j/l = 3×108j,

Efficiency of the engine:

η=WQ amplifier ×100% = 9×107j3x108jx100% = 30%.

Answer: (1) When the car is driving at a constant speed of 72km/h, the resistance of the car is 900 N;

(2) When the car is driving at a constant speed of 72km/h, the efficiency of the engine is 30%.
