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.

When a certain air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is connected across a battery, it acquires a charge of magnitude 172 μC on ea
crimeas [40]

Answer:

k = 2.279

Explanation:

Given:

Magnitude of charge on each plate, Q = 172 μC

Now,

the capacitance, C of a capacitor is given as:

C = Q/V

where,

V is the potential difference

Thus, the capacitance due to the charge of 172 μC will be

C = \frac{(172\ \mu C)}{V}

Now, when the when the additional charge is accumulated

the capacitance (C') will be

C' = \frac{(172+220)\ \mu C)}{V}

or

C' = \frac{(392)\ \mu C)}{V}

now the dielectric constant (k) is given as:

k=\frac{C'}{C}

substituting the values, we get

k=\frac{\frac{(392\ \mu C)}{V}}{\frac{(172)\ \mu C)}{V}}

or

k = 2.279

This type of water occurs as a liquid resource that is dispersed through numerous holes, pores, fractures, and cavities in bodie
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Although this may seem surprising, water beneath the ground is commonplace. Usually groundwater travels slowly and silently beneath the surface, but in some locations it bubbles to the surface at springs. The products of erosion and deposition by groundwater were described in the Erosion and Deposition chapter.

Groundwater is the largest reservoir of liquid fresh water on Earth and is found in aquifers, porous rock and sediment with water in between. Water is attracted to the soil particles and capillary action, which describes how water moves through a porous media, moves water from wet soil to dry areas.

Aquifers are found at different depths. Some are just below the surface and some are found much deeper below the land surface. A region may have more than one aquifer beneath it and even most deserts are above aquifers. The source region for an aquifer beneath a desert is likely to be far from where the aquifer is located; for example, it may be in a mountain area.

The amount of water that is available to enter groundwater in a region is influenced by the local climate, the slope of the land, the type of rock found at the surface, the vegetation cover, land use in the area, and water retention, which is the amount of water that remains in the ground. More water goes into the ground where there is a lot of rain, flat land, porous rock, exposed soil, and where water is not already filling the soil and rock.

The residence time of water in a groundwater aquifer can be from minutes to thousands of years. Groundwater is often called “fossil water” because it has remained in the ground for so long, often since the end of the ice ages.

How does latitude affect climate?
Alex73 [517]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Latitude determines the duration of daylight hours.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The amount of daylight hours depends on the latitude and how Earth orbits the sun. </u></em>
  • <em><u>The tilting of the earth  as it orbits the sun leads to a variation of solar energy that changes with latitude which causes a seasonal variation in the intensity of sunlight reaching the surface and the number of hours of daylight.</u></em>
  • Daylight hours are shortest in each hemisphere's winter. Between summer and winter solstice, the number of daylight hours decreases, and the rate of decrease is larger the higher the latitude.
