Here are the solutions to your physics homework questions:
1. Calculate the power of the engine of the taxi.
Step 1: Determine the engine force.
Since the taxi is moving at a steady speed, the engine force must be equal to the total resistance.
$$F_{engine} = F_{resistance} = 1000 \text{ N}$$
Step 2: Calculate the power.
Power is given by the formula $P = Fv$.
$$P = F_{engine} \times v$$
$$P = 1000 \text{ N} \times 10 \text{ m/s}$$
$$P = 10000 \text{ W}$$
The power of the engine is $100
