    1.0344645 MJ The minimum energy need is the potential energy of the car at the top of the ramp and is given by mass*gravity*height mass is known, gravity is assumed to be 9.81m/s^2 as it is on earth, and height must be calculated using trigonometry. height=sin (9 degrees) * 710m=111meters so potential energy = 950kg*111m*9.81m/s^2=1.0344645 MJ Using the law of the conservation of energy we can assume that the energy expended to push the car up the incline was at least the potential energy gained by moving 111m against the pull of gravity.
