2. A car of mass 1 tonne is climbing a hill inclined at an angle \(\theta\) to the horizontal where \(\sin \theta = \frac { 1 } { 7 }\). When the car passes a point \(X\) on the hill, it is travelling at \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). When the car passes the point \(Y , 200 \mathrm {~m}\) further up the hill, it has speed \(10 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
In a preliminary model of the situation, the car engine is assumed only to be doing work against gravity. Using this model,
- find the change in the total mechanical energy of the car as it moves from \(X\) to \(Y\).

In a more sophisticated model, the car engine is also assumed to work against other forces. - Write down two other forces which this model might include.
