Question

Explain why each of the other choices are wrong as well, not just the correct answer.

Handout 6.1 THINKING CRITICALLY: Evaluating Questions and Answers To solve the problem below, you must write a clear and comvincing justification for accepting one of the pessible answer choices as the best or most appropriate and for rejecting each of the other choices as less appropriate Your reasons for rejecting choices are just as important as your reasons for choosing the best answer The graph shows the potential energy U of a hiker walking up the trail on a mountain. Which of the following occurs at the position indicated by the arrow? Lu Distance along the trail, (km) a. The hiker is sitting down and resting for a short period. b. Friction has decreased at this position on the trail c. The hiker is walking downhill for a short distance. d. The trail is level at this position e. The hiker has reversed direction and walked back down the trail.

Explanation / Answer

According to the given problem,

Ans: D the trail is a level at its position,

Reason:

D- True beacuse,it accuratly represent the graph as he is movine from the [x axis] and contant P.E from the [y axis].

A- Flase :If he is sitting downthe graph should be contat for bothe x and y axis but the km he is covering is increasing.

B- Flase : The potensial energy is not effected by the friction of the floor. So, contant P.E is not due to friction.

C-Flase :If he is walking downhill, The P.E must be decreasing but it is contant form the graph.

E- Flase: If he reverse his direction, there should have been a lower spike of G.P.E, as his previous G.P.E is spiked upwardBut its contat for a distance.

I hope you understood the problem, If yes rate me!! or else comment for a better solution.
