Three mountain climbers set out to climb a mountain from the same altitude and all arrive at the same location at the top. Mount

ain climber A took a long gradual slope to the top, B went a steeper but shorter path, and C tackled the sheer straight side to the top. Assume all three climbers have the same mass. Which climber gained the greatest potential energy?A. AB. BC. CD. all did the same amount of work

Answer:All did same amount of work

Explanation:

All three mountain climbers took different routes to reach the peak. There is a constant gravity force acting on the object i.e. gravity force. Gravity force is conservative i.e. work done by a conservative force is independent of the path followed.

Therefore work done by all the mountain climbers is the same i.e. all did the same amount of work.

What happens to acceleration if forces are balanced
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

No acceleration.

Explanation:

If the forces are Balanced it means they are in equilibrium and there will be  no net force, therefore the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.

What has research determined about the orbit of an electron around a nucleus?
Wittaler [7]
<span>I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The research that determined about the orbit of an electron around a nucleus would be that electrons orbit the nucleus in circular motions exactly as shown on the classic Bohr model.</span>

Ksenya-84 [330]
<span>stuntman's vertical velocity is vy= 6 sin 15=1.55m/s. Height that he goes up is, vertical kinetic energy = mgh 1/2 v² = gh, h=v²/(2g)=0.12 m. time wanted to go up= vy/9.8=0.16s, Time to fall through a height 0.12+2.9=3.02m is t=sqrt(3.02*2/9.8)=0.78 s Total time needed to go up and down is 0.78+0.16=0.94 s. to calculate the horizontal range, Horizontal velocity = 6 cos 15=5.8 m/s. Distance which he can cover is 5.8*0.94=5.44 m. If the distance between the two building is less than 5.44 m then he will be safe and he can jump that distance.</span>
