4. Agent Burt Engle is chasing some more "bad" dudes and dudettes, when he notices his fuel gauge is running close to empty. He is approaching a hill (that makes an incline of 30 degrees with the horizontal) whose height is 49 m when suddenly, while travelling at 32 m/s, the car stalls on him. He desperately tries to re-start the car, only to fail miserably. If the average resistance force is 300 N, and the car has a mass of 800 kg, will Agent Burt Engle make it to the crest of the hill (or will he have to call Agent 001 for some back up)?

Question
4. Agent Burt Engle is chasing some more "bad" dudes and dudettes,
when he notices his fuel gauge is running close to empty. He is
approaching a hill (that makes an incline of 30 degrees with the
horizontal) whose height is 49 m when suddenly, while travelling at 32
m/s, the car stalls on him. He desperately tries to re-start the car, only to
fail miserably. If the average resistance force is 300 N, and the car has a
mass of 800 kg, will Agent Burt Engle make it to the crest of the hill (or
will he have to call Agent 001 for some back up)?
