Question

learn more remarks these calculations show that the change in the gravitational potential energy when the skier goes from the top of the slope to the bottom is -5.88 × 10³ j, regardless of the zero level selected. question if the angle of the slope is increased, the change of gravitational potential energy between the two heights: (select all that apply.) depends on the path followed. decreases. remains the same. depends only on the difference between the two heights. increases. sometimes decreases and sometimes increases.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy change $\Delta U = mg\Delta h$, where $m$ is mass, $g$ is gravitational - acceleration, and $\Delta h$ is the height difference. It is a state - function and depends only on the initial and final heights, not on the path or the slope angle.

Answer:

remains the same, depends only on the difference between the two heights
