Alice and Bill, who happen to have the same mass, both want to climb to the top of a mountain. Bill wants to take the steep path straight up, but Alice wants to take the path that gently winds around the mountain, even though it is 8 times longer than the steep path. They both eventually reach the top of the mountain, but Alice reaches the top in 1/3 the time that Bill takes using the steep route. How does the work that Alice did in climbing the mountain compare with the amount that Bill did? A Alice and Bill did the same amount of work. B Alice did 1/3 the amount of work that Bill did.

Question

Alice and Bill, who happen to have the same mass, both want to climb to the top of a mountain. Bill wants to take the steep path straight up, but Alice
wants to take the path that gently winds around the mountain, even though it is 8 times longer than the steep path. They both eventually reach the top of
the mountain, but Alice reaches the top in 1/3 the time that Bill takes using the steep route. How does the work that Alice did in climbing the mountain
compare with the amount that Bill did?
(A Alice and Bill did the same amount of work.
(B) Alice did 1/3 the amount of work that Bill did.
c) Alice did twice the amount of work that Bill did.
D Alice did 1/8 the amount of work that Bill did.

The tree topper is accidentally knocked off of a Christmas tree giving it an initial speed of 15 m/s. The tree topper ornament was initially at a height of 2.2 m above the ground and as it falls it bumps into the leaves and the branches of the tree. If the work done by friction of the leaves on the ornament is 3.6 J, what is the speed of the ornament right as it hits the floor?
