9702Energy conservation

A car travels at a constant speed of 25 m s–1 up a slope. The wheels driven by the engine exert a forward force of 3000 N. There is a drag force due to air resistance and friction of 2100 N. The weight of the car has a component down the slope of 900 N. What is the rate at which thermal energy is dissipated?
