Determine the work required to get to the gas station


A person pushes a car from rest adn accelerates to 4km/h in 5 seconds. The veolicty stays constant for 1km, the first 500 m are flat and the rest of the way is inclined by 5 degrees. Determine the work required to get to the gas station at the end of the 1km.

The total distance from rest is 1km, the weight of the car is 1250kg, drag force, friction, air drag and rolling resistance can be ignored. Also note that the change in speed remains the same once acclerated to 4km/h, even up the hill.
