A battery-operated car utilizes a 12.0 V system. Find the charge the batteries must be able to move, in megaCoulombs, in order to accelerate a 750 kg car from rest to 48 m/s, make it climb a 2.27E+02 m high hill, and then cause it to travel at a constant 45 m/s by exerting a 5.00E+02 N force for 60 minutes. Use g = 10 m/s², if needed. Do not enter units with answer. This is a problem that connects the work, energy, and power concepts of Physics 1 to work/energy in electrical systems.
