Aperson who climbs up something (e. g., a hill, a ladder, the stairs) from the ground gains potential energy. a person's weight (f = mg) is usually measured in pounds. for conversions, you may need to know that the weight of 1 pound is equal to 4.448 newtons. part a how many meters above the ground would a 240 lb person have to climb to gain 3 kilojoules (3000 joules) of potential energy?

Two horses begin at rest. after a few seconds, horse a is traveling with a velocity of 10 m/s west, while horse b is traveling with a velocity of 13 m/s west. which horse had a greater acceleration? a. horse a because its change in velocity was greater than horse b's in the same time. b. horse b because its change in velocity was greater than horse a's in the same time. c. horse b because its change in velocity was the same as horse a's, but it took less time. d. both horses had the same acceleration.
