Homework Statement



I'm trying to figure out how much velocity is required to move 1000 kg car up a hill that has a .02 percent grade and a friction value 0.7.


Homework Equations



F= μmg cosθ

The Attempt at a Solution



F = 6866.99 N

If this is correct how do you get this into velocity.

Ah, never mind this question really makes no sense anyway. Obviously we are dealing with forces which can not be changed to velocity. ( ya... I loose arguments with myself all the time).

Thanks
