The mass of the cars is estimated by the function m times p is equal to 175 p plus 1 comma 180 where p is the number of passengers in the car. The potential energy of the car is calculated using the function cap e times m is equal to 9 point 8 m h , where h is the height of the ramp. If the top of the ramp is 30 meters, which function can be used to calculate the potential energy of a car in terms of the number of passengers?
