Answer: 5.06\times10^{9}

At sea level, there is one standard atmospheric pressure which is equal to 101.325 kilopascals.

The pressure of faintest sound that a human ear can hear is 20 micro-pascals.

taking the ratio of two:

\frac {101.325 kilopascals. }{20 micropascals} = \frac {101.325 \times 10^{3}Pa}{20 \times 10^{-6}Pa}

=5.06\times10^{9}

Hence, the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 5.06\times10^{9} times greater than the faintest sound that a human ear can hear.

_______ is a force of attraction that occurs between objects due to their mass. a. magnetism b. gravity c. weight d. deposition
ICE Princess25 [194]
<span>The question is asking us to fill in the gap in: (gap) is a force of attraction that occurs between objects due to their mass.The correct answer is b. gravity. People don't know that gravity works both ways: both objects atract each. The reason why we're more attracted to Earth than Earth is pulled to us is that Earth has a much higher mass - the bigger the mass, the stronger the atraction</span>

I need help with questions b and d, that’s all.<br><br> Thank you.
Mkey [24]

b).  The power depends on the RATE at which work is done.  

Power = (Work or Energy) / (time)

So to calculate it, you have to know how much work is done AND how much time that takes.

In part (a), you calculated the amount of work it takes to lift the car from the ground to Point-A.  But the question doesn't tell us anywhere how much time that takes.  So there's NO WAY to calculate the power needed to do it.

The more power is used, the faster the car is lifted.  The less power is used, the slower the car creeps up the first hill.  If the people in the car have a lot of time to sit and wait, the car can be dragged from the ground up to Point-A with a very very very small power ... you could do it with a hamster on a treadmill.  That would just take a long time, but it could be done if the power is small enough.

Without knowing the time, we can't calculate the power.

...

d).  Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed squared)

On the way up, the car stops when it reaches point-A.  

On the way down, the car leaves point-A from "rest".

WHILE it's at point-A, it has <u><em>no speed</em></u>.  So it has no (<em>zero</em>) kinetic energy.
