So the car is moving at 651 revolutions per minute, with wheels of a radius of 18inches
so, one revolution, is just one go-around a circle, and thus 2π, 651 revolutions is just 2π * 651, or 1302π, the wheels are moving at that "angular velocity"
now, what's the linear velocity, namely, the arc covered per minute
well
now, how much is that in miles/hrs? well
let's keep in mind that, there are 12inches in 1foot, and 5280ft in 1mile, whilst 60mins in 1hr
thus
notice, after all the units cancellations, you're only left with mi/hrs

<span>gravitational potential energy : P
Gravity : g
Mass : m
height : h
P = mgh = 3 x 9.8 x 0.45 = 13.23 Joule
Potential energy is work , from the known formula
W = Fd ( work = force x distance )
W = P ( in case of potential energy height change)
F is the force acting on the body in case of ideal ramp , the only force acting is the weight of the body
F = mg ( not just <m> as the force is mg (Newton) gravity effect)
d is the displacement in direction of force, as we have considered the force to be the weight not it's component in direction of the ramp , the change in displacement is the change in height so
d = h
W = Fd = (F = mg) x (d = h) = mgh
W = mgh = P
