Picture the Problem: The car drives up the hill, changing its kinetic and gravitational potential energies, while both the engine
force and friction do nonconservative work on the car.
Strategy: The total nonconservative work done on the car changes its mechanical energy according to equation 8-9. This
nonconservative work includes the positive work Wnc1 done by the engine and the negative work Wnc2 done by the friction. Use
this relationship and the known change in potential energy to find  K .
