The sled is pulled up a steeperhill of the sameheightas the hill described above.

How will the velocity of the sled at the bottom of the hill (after it has slid down) compare to that of the sled at the bottom of the original hill?

Choose the best answer below.

A. The speed at the bottom is greater for the steeper hill.

B. The speed at the bottom is the same for both hills.

C. The speed at the bottom is greater for the original hill because the sled travels further.

D. There is not enough information given to say which speed at the bottom is faster.

E. None of these descriptions is correct.

Respuesta :

Answer: B. The speed at the bottom is the same for both hills.

Explanation A sled which can also be called a sledge is a vehicle built with a smooth body on the side touching the ground underside which makes it easy for it to be able to slide towards the ground when on a slant hill. The velocity of the sled after it has slid down the Hill and the velocity at the bottom of the Hill will be the same because both point have the same level of steepness. Velocity of a material is directly proportional to the mass of a body and inversely proportional to the time traveled.
