When the winch is pulling it up it's first hill, it is losing it's energy to give it to the coaster.  It starts gaining energy because its height.  Then when it goes down the hill, gravity kicks in and the potential energy turns into kinetic energy.

Answering the two questions in reverse order:

-- No. I don't need to know how the speed of the person changed before I can answer the question.  I can answer it now.

-- The NET work done by the gravitational force is<em> zero</em>.

-- As the person and his girl-friend go up the first half of the wheel, the motor does positive work and gravity does negative work.

-- After they pass the peak at the top and come down the second half of the wheel, the motor does negative work and gravity does positive work, even though the couple may be interested in other things during that time.

-- The total work done by gravity in one complete revolution is zero.

-- The total work done by the motor in one complete revolution is only what it takes to pay back the energy robbed by friction and air resistance.

Answer:

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere

Explanation:

The formula to be used here is

Q = It

where Q is the quantity of electricity and it is measured coulombs (C); 2.8 × 10⁻⁸ C or 0.000000028 C

I is current and it is measured in ampere (amps or A); unknown

t is time and it is measured in seconds (s); 0.05 s

Since, average current is what is unknown

I =Q/t

I = 0.000000028/0.05

I = 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ A

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere
