Why is it difficult to climb a vertical slope than a gentle slope?
Gravity is always pulling objects down so when you climb upward
gravity weighs you down, you have to use effort to move yourself in
the oposite direction that gravity is pulling you that is why it is
harder to climb up a slope. When you climb a gentle slope you still
are using energy but it takes longer to reach the same height on a
gentle slope versus a verticle slope. On a verticle slope you are
climbing higher instead of...
