A 1430 kg car is initially at rest on level ground when the engine does 380 000 J of work on it in 10.0 s.
If all of the work is converted into kinetic energy, what is the final speed of the car?
What was the power?
After the car reaches its top speed, the engine cuts out and the car begins to roll up a hill. If the car continues to roll until all of its kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy, what final height will it reach? (ignore friction)
If the car was to brake to a stop on level ground, in the same time as it took to roll to a stop up the hill then what would be the power requirement?
If the hill in part c. had been steeper, how would it affect the final height of the car?
