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.

Two tuning forks of frequency 480 hz and 484 hz are struck simultaneously. what is the beat frequency resulting from the two sou
umka21 [38]
Ans: Beat frequency = f_b = 4Hz

Explanation: 
The beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference in frequency of the two waves. In other words, the number of beats per second is equal to the difference in frequency. It is due to the destructive and constructive interference. <span>According to this interference, sound will be soft or loud.

Hence. the formula is:
</span>Beat frequency = f_b = |f_2 - f_1|
<span>
Since,
</span>f_1 = 480Hz
f_2 = 484Hz

Therefore,
Beat frequency = f_b = |484 - 480|

=> Beat frequency = f_b = 4Hz

Which planet has completed less than one orbit of the sun in the last 100 years?
OlgaM077 [116]
Since Pluto is no longer considered a planet, the correct answer would be Neptune. It is eight and farthest known planet of the Solar system. Orbital period of planet Neptune is 168 years. So planet Neptune has completed less than one orbit around the Sun in the last 100 years.
