Let's tackle each problem step by step:

### Problem 1: Work Done Against Resistance

1. **Given:**
- Mass of the body \( m = 10 \, \text{kg} \)
- Distance \( d = 20 \, \text{m} \)
- Resistance \( F_{\text{resistance}} = 40 \, \text{N} \)

2. **Work Done Against Resistance:**
Work done \( W \) against the resistance can be calculated using the formula:

\[
W = F_{\text{resistance}} \times d
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
W = 40 \, \text{N} \times 20 \, \text{m} = 800 \, \text{J}
\]

Therefore, the work done against the resistance is **800 Joules**.

### Problem 2: Car Ascending a Hill

Given:
- Mass of the car \( m = 80 \, \text{kg} \)
- Power \( P = 15000 \, \text{W} \)
- Angle of ascent \( \theta = \sin^{-1}(1/98) \) (This means \( \sin(\theta) = 1/98 \))
- Resistance to motion \( F_{\text{resistance}} = 420 \, \text{N} \)

1. **Acceleration of the car up the hill when traveling with a velocity of 10 m/s:**

**Calculate Gravitational Force Component Up the Hill:**

The force due to gravity acting down the hill:

\[
F_{\text{gravity}} = m \cdot g \cdot \sin(\theta)
\]

Where \( g \approx 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \):

\[
F_{\text{gravity}} = 80 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot \frac{1}{98}
\]

\[
F_{\text{gravity}} \approx \frac{80 \cdot 9.81}{98} \approx 8 \, \text{N} \quad (\text{It's approximately } 8 \, \text{N} \text{ to simplify})
\]

**Total Resistance:**

The total resistance acting on the car:

\[
F_{\text{total}} = F_{\text{gravity}} + F_{\text{resistance}} = 8 \, \text{N} + 420 \, \text{N} = 428 \, \text{N}
\]

**Force Exerted by the Engine:**

Using the power formula:

\[
P = F \cdot v \implies F = \frac{P}{v}
\]

For \( v = 10 \, \text{m/s} \):

\[
F_{\text{engine}} = \frac{15000 \, \text{W}}{10 \, \text{m/s}} = 1500 \, \text{N}
\]

**Net Force and Acceleration:**

\[
F_{\text{net}} = F_{\text{engine}} - F_{\text{total}} = 1500 \, \text{N} - 428 \, \text{N} = 1072 \, \text{N}
\]

Using Newton's second law:

\[
a = \frac{F_{\text{net}}}{m} = \frac{1072 \, \text{N}}{80 \, \text{kg}} \approx 13.4 \, \text{m/s}^2
\]

2. **Maximum Speed of the Car Up the Hill:**

At maximum speed, the net force will be zero (engine force equals total resistance). Therefore,

\[
F_{\text{engine}} = F_{\text{total}} \Rightarrow 1500 \, \text{N} = 428 \, \text{N} + 80 \cdot 9.81 \cdot \frac{1}{98}
\]

The maximum speed occurs when all the power maintains speed against resistance:

From Power formula:

\[
P = F_{\text{total}} \cdot v_{max} \implies v_{max} = \frac{P}{F_{\text{total}}}
\]

Where \( F_{\text{total}} = 428 N \).

\[
v_{max} = \frac{15000\, W}{428 \, N} \approx 35.06 \, \text{m/s}
\]

3. **Acceleration of the Car Down the Hill at 20 m/s:**

In this case:

At \( v = 20 \, \text{m/s} \), the engine force does not work against the movement due to the car's descent; thus, it can be expressed as:

\[
F_{\text{engine}} = 0, \quad F_{\text{gravity} (up)} + F_{\text{resistance}} = m \cdot a
\]

Then,

\[
F_{\text{net}} = F_{\text{gravity}} - F_{\text{resistance}} = 8 \, N - 420 \, N = -412 \, N
\]

This indicates that overall there will be negative acceleration (deceleration), thus

Final acceleration:

\[
a_{down} = \frac{F_{\text{net}}}{80 \, kg} = \frac{-412 \, N}{80 \, kg} = -5.15 \, \text{m/s}^2
\]

### Summary of Answers:
1. Work Done Against Resistance: **800 Joules**
2. Acceleration of the car up the hill at 10 m/s: **13.4 m/s²**
3. Maximum Speed of the car up the hill: **35.06 m/s**
4. Acceleration of the car down the hill at 20 m/s: **-5.15 m/s²** (indicating deceleration).
