Answer:
Potential energy is 
Explanation:
The potential energy depends on the mass, the acceleration of gravity g and the height at which the object or person is.
Potential energy
In this case we would need to know the exact mass of the hiker in order to calculate the potential energy.
But we know the values of g and h
So, the potential energy
m is the mass of the hiker, wich is not in the description of the problem.
Choice-'a' is a slippery, misleading, ambiguous statement,
but it's less wrong than any of the other choices on this list.
<span>As it is uniform circular motion therefore speed is constant. Therefore we can rule out option B. Also in circular motion the direction of velocity vector changes therefore velocity can't be constant. Therefore option B is incorrect as well. Also centripetal acceleration is always towards the center so option D is wrong as well.
That implies
option A is correct.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
The diagram has a fairly simple explanation. In the top diagram, the space between the particle is increasing. That means that acceleration is increasing. The bottom diagram shows just the opposite. The particle starts off making large "distances" between where the particle is recorded and then the distances between recordings lessens and the particle is slowing down.
Rule: the greater the "distance" between dot positions, the greater the acceleration, because the speed is large.
Top diagram: increasing distance between dots = larger speed. The distance becomes greater as the particle moves to the right.
Bottom diagram: starts off large and decreases as we move from left to right = - acceleration.
