You and your friend (same masses) want to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Your friend takes the elevator straight up. You decide to walk up the spiral stairway, taking longer to do so. Compare the gravitational potential energy (U) of you and your friend, after you both reach the top.

The gravitational potential energy of me and my friend is same.

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of both the persons are same.

The acceleration due to gravity is same for both the persons.

The height reached by both the persons is equal to the height of the Eiffel Tower.

The time taken by my friend is more than me because my friend takes a longer route.

Now, we know that, gravitational potential energy of a body is directly proportional to its mass, acceleration due to gravity and height of the body reached  and is independent of time taken. It is given as:

As per the question, the masses are same and the heights reached by each one of them is also same. The acceleration due to gravity remains constant.

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of me and my friend is also same.

a=d/t

a="triangle"v/t

explanation:

a = acceleration

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
