Two identical grasshoppers jump into the air with the same initial speed and experience no air resistance. Grasshopper A goes straight up, but grasshopper B goes up at a 66 angle above the horizontal.
 
  Which of the following statements about these grasshoppers are correct? (There could be more than one correct choice.) A) At their highest point, both of them have the same amount of gravitational potential energy.
  B) At their highest point, both of them have the same amount of kinetic energy.
  C) At their highest point, both of them have the same amount of mechanical energy.
  D) At their highest point, grasshopper B is moving faster than grasshopper A.
  E) At their highest point, grasshopper A has more gravitational potential energy than grasshopper B.

Question 2

A thermally isolated system is made up of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper, with the aluminum and the copper in thermal contact. The specific heat capacity of aluminum is more than double that of copper.
 
  Which object experiences the greater magnitude gain or loss of heat during the time the system takes to reach thermal equilibrium? A) the aluminum
  B) the copper
  C) Neither one; both of them experience the same size gain or loss of heat.
  D) It is impossible to tell without knowing the masses.
  E) It is impossible to tell without knowing the volumes.
