Idon't really need this question answered, i just need someone to explain to me what it's asking me. to me, it's worded very weirdly.

how does changing the initial height of the skater affect the height the skater rises to?

Tall pacific coast redwood trees can reach heights of about 100 m. if air drag is negligibly small, how fast is a sequola cone moving when it reaches the ground f it dropped from the top of a 100 m tree?

Arigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. one part of the tank contains 3 kg of compressed liquid water at 400 kpa and 60°c while the other part is evacuated. the partition is now removed, and the water expands to fill the entire tank. determine the entropy change of water during this process, if the final pressure in the tank is 40 kpa. use steam tables.

In a game of pool, ball a is moving with a velocity v0 of magnitude v0 = 15 ft/s when it strikes balls b and c, which are at rest and aligned as shown. knowing that after the collision the three balls move in the directions indicated and assuming frictionless surfaces and perfectly elastic impact (that is, conservation of energy), determine the magnitudes of the velocities va, vb, and vc.
