Choice A is the right answer! Buy at high altitude and sell at low altitude
Hope this helps :)
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mas of the car, 
Initial speed of the car, 
Mass of the truck, 
Initial speed of the car, 
Final speed of the car, 
(a) It is a case of elastic collision. Let
is the final velocity of the truck right after the collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum to find it :



(b) Initial kinetic energy is given by :



Final kinetic energy is given by :



The change in mechanical energy of the car truck system in the collision:



The loss in kinetic energy is 10029.39 Joules.
(c) The change in mechanical energy gets changed energy gets changed in the form of heat and light.
Hence, this is the required solution.
The choice of path should make no difference. The work should depend only on the end points and not on the route between them. But just to make sure, could we please have a look at the accompanying figure ?
Answer:
a)
, b) 
Explanation:
a) According the Archimedes' Principle, the buoyancy force is equal to the displaced weight of surrounding liquid. The mass of the coal in the barge is:




b) The submersion height is found by using the equation derived previously:


The final submersion height is:
