The non-conservative force propelling a 1500kg car up a
mountain does 4700000 J of work on the car. The car starts from rest at sea level and has a speed of 27m/s at 200 m above sea level. Obtain the work done on the car by the combined forces of ar resistance and friction, both of which are nonconservative forces.

The final kinetic energy of the car
.5*m*v^2
plus the increase in potential energy of the car
m*g*h
equals the energy input
4700000
less the work done by friction and air resistance, f
so
f=4700000-
1500*(27^2/2+9.81*200)

f=1210250 J
