Question: The ( non - conservative ) force propelling a 2 0 0 0 - kg car up a mountain road does 5 1 0 ^

The (non-conservative) force propelling a 2000-kg car up a mountain road does 510^5J of work on the car. The car starts from rest at sea level and has a speed of 30 m/s at an altitude of 200 m above sea level. What is the work done on the car by the non-conservative friction forces? (Hint: the total non-conservative work (i.e. propulsion and friction) equals the change in total mechanical energy.)m
