Answer: a boy jumping down
Lifting a mass to a height, you give it gravitational potential energy of
(mass) x (gravity) x (height) joules.
To give it that much energy, that's how much work you do on it.
If 2,000 kg gets lifted to 1.25 meters off the ground, its potential energy is
(2,000) x (9.8) x (1.25) = 24,500 joules.
If you do it in 1 hour (3,600 seconds), then the average power is
(24,500 joules) / (3,600 seconds) = 6.8 watts.
None of these figures depends on whether the load gets lifted all at once,
or one shovel at a time, or one flake at a time.
But this certainly is NOT all the work you do. When you get a shovelful
of snow 1.25 meters off the ground, you don't drop it and walk away, and
it doesn't just float there. You typically toss it, away from where it was laying
and over onto a pile in a place where you don't care if there's a pile of snow
there. In order to toss it, you give it some kinetic energy, so that it'll continue
to sail over to the pile when it leaves the shovel. All of that kinetic energy
must also come from work that you do ... nobody else is going to take it
from you and toss it onto the pile.
The answer is A. Reactivity

The height is zero.
That means whatever place is your reference for height measurement,
the object is lying right there at that height.
<span>The answer to this question depends upon Newton's third law of motion. For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Because of this law, during the collision between two unequal masses, the impulse that each mass receives will be of equal magnitude and and opposite sign.</span>
