Answer:
More work done with less power
The increase in gravitational energy is the same as the height which is a function of gravitational energy is the same in both cases
Explanation:
Climbing the mountain in zigzag pattern is easier because
1. The time it takes to climb increases so that the required power or rate of doing work decreases
2. Climbing in zigzag pattern affords the use of leverages by the sides
3. Similar mechanical power gain and efficiency from using a drive screw instead of a nail to fasten items together can be achieved
The increase in gravitational energy is the same gravitational energy ~ mass × gravity ×height
Gasoline, kerosene, and coal.
A projectile fired upward from the Earth's surface will usually slow down, come momentarily to rest, and return to Earth. For a certain initial speed, however it will move upward forever, with its speed gradually decreasing to zero just as its distance from Earth approaches infinity. The initial speed for this case is called escape velocity. You can find the escape velocity v for the Earth or any other planet from which a projectile might be launched using conservation of energy. The projectile of mass m leaves the surface of the body of mass M and radius R with a kinetic energy Ki = mv²/2 and potential energy Ui = -GMm/R. When the projectile reaches infinity, it has zero potential energy and zero kinetic energy since we are seeking the minimum speed for escape. Thus Uf = 0 and Kf = 0. And from conservation of energy,
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
mv²/2 -GMm/R = 0
∴ v = √(2GM/R)
This is the expression for escape velocity.
Rocks within Earth both expand and contract as P waves pass
Explanation:
Rocks within the earth both expands and contracts as P-waves passes through them. P-waves are elastic waves.
- Elastic waves behaves in such a way that they do not cause permanent deformation of rocks.
- They can be said to cause elastic deformation when they travel through rocks.
- They simply temporarily expand and contract the rock within a short period by causing the vibration of particles of the medium.
- After a short while, the rock returns back to its original position as if nothing has happened to it.
- These elastic waves are better called seismic waves.
- P-waves are primary waves that can travel through any medium.
