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
The answer is (A) the object must be at rest.
When all of the forces acting on an object balance, the net force is zero and hence the object will not move.
Yes, the direction might also change under some special circumstances.
