[Billy Jones]

Homework Statement

A 1130 kg car is initially at rest when it accelerates up a 21 m high hill. When it reaches the top of the hill it is traveling at 18 m/s. If it takes 6.5 s to reach the top of the hill, what was the average power of the car?

Homework Equations

W = Fd
P = w/t

The Attempt at a Solution

My answer was 45887.36 watts. The methodology used can be seen in the attached picture.
