Question: Show me the steps to solve Calculate and plot the road load requirements of a 2 0 2 3 Ford Escape over the NYCC cycle,

Show me the steps to solve Calculate and plot the road load requirements of a 2023 Ford Escape over the NYCC cycle, considering
aerodynamic, rolling resistance and inertia forces. Assume there is no incline (zero road grade). The NYCC
velocity profile is provided in the accompanying file. A spreadsheet is also provided as the starting point if you want to use it.
1) Plot the following on separate pages against time (letter, landscape, 1 inch margin):
a. acceleration over the complete cycle (x-axis: Cycle Time[s], y-axis: acceleration [m/s2
])
b. coefficient of rolling resistance over the complete cycle (x-axis: Cycle Time[s], y-axis: fr).
c. the gross and net power consumed by each load component (Pr, Pw)(2 separate plots) over
40-250 secs (x-axis: Cycle Time[s], y-axis: Power Components Gross & Net [kW])
d. the braking power over 40-250 sec (x-axis: Cycle Time[s], y-axis: Braking Power [kW])
e. total tractive effort (power) over the complete cycle (x-axis: Cycle Time[s], y-axis: Total Tractive
Effort [kW])
f. All plots should have proper axes names and units
