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.

A car accelerates from rest. It reaches a velocity of 25m/s in 10 seconds. What was the cars acceleration?
mixer [17]

Answer:

We are Given:

initial velocity (u) = 0m/s

final velocity (v) = 25 m/s

time (t) = 10 seconds

acceleration (a)  = a m/s/s

From the first equation of motion, we know that:

v = u + at

solving for a, we get:

a = (v-u) / t

now, plugging the given values in this equation

a = (25 - 0) / 10

a = 25 / 10

a = 2.5 m/s/s

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 2.5 m/s/s

How is Uranus colder than Neptune
STatiana [176]
With Uranus at an average distance of 2.88 billion kilometres from the Sun and Neptune at an average distance of 4.5 billion kilometres it would be very easy to point out which of the gas giants is the coldest, but if you were you were to say that Neptune was the coldest, you’d be wrong.<span>Given that we expect planets further from the Sun to be colder than those closer, this does make Neptune and Uranus quite a mysterious pair. Uranus and Neptune are brimming with volatiles such as water, methane and ammonia and due to their composition in comparison to Jupiter and Saturn, which are comprised mainly of hydrogen and helium, are labelled the ice giants. Scientists have measured how hot Uranus and Neptune should be and have found that Uranus is very cold and very dim</span>

Two campers dock a canoe. One camper has a mass of 100.0 kg and moves forward at 3.0 m/s as he leaves the canoe to step onto the
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

V = -1.33 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the camper, m = 100 kg

The velocity of the camper, v = 3.0 m/s

The combined mass of canoe and another camper, M = 225 kg

The velocity of the combined canoe and another camper, V = ?

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

                          MV + mv = 0  (Since the initial momentum of the dock is 0)

                             V = -mv/M

                                =  -100 x 3/225

                                = -1.33 m/s

The negative sign indicates that the combined objects moves opposite to that of the camper.

Hence, the velocity of the combined canoe and camper is, V = -1.33 m/s
