<span>carrying twice the weight and climbing twice as high</span>
Andrew [12]3 years ago

Answer : The correct option is (c).

Explanation :

The energy which is due to the height of an object under the action of gravity is called gravitational potential energy.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

P = m g h

Where,

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object from the reference level

So, potential energy is directly proportional to both the mass and the height.

The statement about the largest increase in a mountain climber’s gravitational potential energy is "carrying twice the weight and climbing twice as high".

Could a car drive on a frictionless surface? Explain using the terms action
Julli [10]

Answer:

No, it cannot. The car needs the friction of the surface to drive because the car pushes the surface backwards, and the surfaces makes a reaction force pushing the car forward, and that works because of the friction. In a frictionless surface the tires would rotate in the same place

Please help!!! A river has a constant current of 3 km per hour. If a motorboat, capable of maintaining a constant speed of 20km
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Construct a vector diagram. It will be a right-angled triangle. One vector (the hypotenuse) represents the heading of the boat, one represents the current and one represents the resultant speed of the boat, which I'll call x. Their magnitudes are 20, 3 and x. Let the required angle = theta. We have: 

<span>theta = arcsin(3/20) = approx. 8.63° </span>

<span>The boat should head against the current in a direction approx. 8.63° to the line connecting the dock with the point opposite, or approx. 81.37° to the shore line. </span>

<span>x = sqrt(20^2 - 3^2) </span>
<span>= sqrt(400 - 9) </span>
<span>= sqrt 391 </span>

<span>The boat's crossing time = </span>
<span>0.5 km/(sqrt 391 km/hr) </span>
<span>= (0.5/sqrt 391) hr </span>
<span>= approx. 0.025 hr </span>
<span>= approx. 91 seconds</span>

A position vector in the first quadrant has an x-component of 18 m and a magnitude of 30 m. What is the value of its y-component
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The value is 24meters

Explanation:

Using

r= xi+yj

To get the magnitude of vector x

We say

/r/= √x²+y²

So

30²= √18² + y²

y= √576

Y= 24m
