Question
A cart is loaded with a brick and pulled at constant speed along up a hill that is has a slope of 0.01 (1 meter rise for 100 meters of run). If the mass of the loaded cart is 10.0 kg and the height of the hill is 100 meters, then what is the potential energy of the loaded cart at the height of the hill? If I take a short cut up the hill which has a slope that is 0.2 and I get to the top in half the time have I done more or less work? And have I used more or less power?
