Norbit hikes up a mountain following a short and intense trail. Rasputia also hikes up the mountain but takes a longer, easier trail. Which of the following statements is true? Select one: O A. Norbit gains more gravitational potential energy than Rasputia. 0 B. Norbit gains less gravitational potential energy than Rasputia. O C. Norbit gains the same gravitational potential energy as Rasputia. O D. To compare energies, we must know the height of the mountain. o E. To compare energies, we must know the lengths of the two trails. Solution 1. since both reaches to the same height of mountain, irrespective of their path, both will gain the same P.E. Answer (C) 2. Answer (C) .
