You and your friend, who has the same mass as you, want to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Your friend takes the elevator straight up. You decide to walk up the spiral stairway, taking longer to do so.
 
  Compare the gravitational potential energy of the system you-Earth and your friend-Earth, after you both reach the top. A) It is impossible to tell, since the times you both took are unknown.
  B) It is impossible to tell, since the distances you both traveled are unknown.
  C) The friend-Earth system's gravitational potential energy is greater than the you-Earth system's gravitational potential energy, because he got to the top faster.
  D) Both systems have the same amount of gravitational potential energy at the top.
  E) The you-Earth system's gravitational potential energy is greater than the friend-Earth system, because you traveled a greater distance in getting to the top.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

All patients with hyperparathyroidism will develop osteoporosis. The parathyroid glands maintain blood calcium within the normal range. All patients with this disease will continue to lose calcium from their bones every day, and there is no way to prevent the development of osteoporosis as a result.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis syndrome are life-threatening reactions that can result in death. Complications include permanent blindness, dry-eye syndrome, lung damage, photophobia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, permanent loss of nail beds, scarring of mucous membranes, arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many patients' pores scar shut, causing them to retain heat.
