To calculate the work done by a car against gravity while moving along a straight horizontal road, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Forces Involved The main force acting against gravity is the weight of the car, which can be calculated using the formula: \[ F = mg \] where: - \( m \) is the mass of the car (400 kg) - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)) ...
