It's not hard but you may soil your shirt. I once rolled a full-size 1993 Bronco packed with gear out of an arroyo. I was desperate. I started by pushing the drivers-side door and steering wheel but it began to roll backwards. I then tried running to the back bumper and pushing it from behind (probably dumb), but I could barely keep it in place and it cost me about 3 meters. I don t know why, but then I tried grabbing the drivers-side front tire. I rolled nearly 7000 pounds up a slope and saved my dog and I a cold night stranded in the desert. I then coasted down the bajada with no Power Steering or brakes listening to "The Cave" until I reached the highway, but that's a different story. Turned out one of the fuel pumps failed.
No. The car is applying a force to keep going up the hill and the hill and car are providing forces to keep it up.

"Normal" forces push up on a still car. In this case, normal forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the gravitational forces pushing down on the still car.
The energy you put into something to make it move at a steady speed is called KINETIC ENERGY. It's the Kinetic Energy of a car that makes the brakes hot when you try to stop. The kinetic energy of the moving car becomes heat in the brakes of the stationary car which has lost its kinetic energy. There are two ways to get a car to the top of a hill. One is to start at the bottom and drive the car to the top and then stop again. This way, the engine pushed the car up the hill. The other way is to start a long way before the hill and build up speed along a flat road. Then you can turn off the engine and the car will coast to the top of the hill before it stops. This way, the engine put a lot of Kinetic Energy into the weight of the car before it got to the hill, and it was that Kinetic Energy which was used to get the car up the hill.
A car.
Find a hill and stop the car, using a friend to steer the car you get behind and push.....

Get it to the top of a hill and give it a push
Don't back up a hill, drive up it.
Coasting requires you to put the gear into neutral and let the car freewheel down the hill. If you came to a bend on the hill and someone was speeding up the hill, you may not have enough time to react and slam on the brakes, or slow down. When you aren't in gear, you have less control of your car, as opposed to if you was in gear. E.g. If you were in gear and slammed on the brakes, your car would stall, jerk you forward and stop, however because you aren't in gear, your car won't stop rolling.(It's why you can push your car when it's out of gear, but you can't push it when it's in gear).
haha alot. they should save their energy and walk to the nearest gas station
Gravity is trying to push the car down the hill. It takes more power to overcome that push of gravity. Unless you give the car more gas it will slow down.
you drive the car up the hill.
When driving a car with an automatic transmission up a steep hill it is not necessary to shift gears. The car will do that on its own when necessary.
