What is Potential Energy? Does the potential energy depend on the path followed?
An elephant weighing $40,000\ N$ stands on one foot of area $1000\ cm^2$ whereas a girl weighing $400\ N$ is standing on one ‘stiletto’ heel of area $1\ cm^2$.(a) Which of the two, elephant or girl, exerts a larger force on the ground and by how much?(b) What pressure is exerted on the ground by the elephant standing on one foot?(c) What pressure is exerted on the ground by the girl standing on one heel?(d) Which of the two exerts larger pressure on the ground: elephant or girl?(e) What is the ratio of pressure exerted by the girl to the pressure exerted by the elephant?
A girl is wearing a pair of flat shoes. She weighs 550 N. The area of contact of one shoe with the ground is 160 cm2. What pressure will be exerted by the girl on the ground if she stands on two feet?
A boy of mass $50\ kg$ standing on ground exerts a force of $500\ N$ on the ground. What will be the force exerted by the ground on the boy?

A girl weighing $25\ kg$ stands on the floor. She exerts a downward force of $250\ N$ on the floor. What force does the floor exert on her ?
A ball is dropped from a height of 10 m:a. Its potential energy increases and kinetic energy decreases during the fallsb. Its potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy during the fall.c. The potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases during the fall.d. The potential energy is zero and kinetic energy is maximum while it is falling.
A tower stands vertically on the ground. From a point on the ground, \( 20 \mathrm{~m} \) away from the foot of the tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is \( 60^{\circ} \). What is the height of the tower?
on a sunny day, does a bird or an aeroplane flying high in the sky cast its shadow on the ground? Under what circumstances can we see their shadow on the ground?
The mountaineers carry oxygen with them because:(a) At an altitude of more than 5 km there is no air.(b) The amount of air available to a person is less than that available on the ground.(c) The temperature of air is higher than that on the ground.(d) the pressure of air is higher than that on the ground.
