A skateboarder drops in off the top of one side of the half pipe shown below. She does not push off and starts from rest. She stands straight as she skates down one side and up the other. She expected to get to the top of other side but didn’t make it. The skateboarder recalled the law of conservation of energy from science and didn’t understand why she didn’t make it to the top of the other side. Which of the following actions would help the skater reach the top of the other side of the half pipe?

Lubricate the wheels in order to reduce frictional force that is causing the skateboard to lose velocity and bend down while skating off the side and bottom of the half pipe.

Hold a weight in order to increase her mass and cause the skateboard to move with a greater velocity down the half pipe.

Sit on the skateboard in order to lower her center of mass and increase the potential energy of the skateboard.

Push off at the bottom of the half pipe in order to replace lost energy and add kinetic energy to the skateboard.

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.

let me know if you need more

thats not even an aswer choice

the answer would be   10%
