Answer:
40 j, 80j.
Explanation:
P.E= mgh. G=10 m/s².
For 4m, P.E=1*10*4=40 joules.
For 8m, P.E=1*10*8=80 joules.

This assumes that the wave has velocity c (is light).
The angle that the cart rolls with the horizontal. The closer the ramp gets to 90 degrees the faster the cart will accelerate.
In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.
