A mountain climber encounters a crevasse in an ice field. The opposite side of the crevasse is a height h lower, and is separated horizontally by a distance w. To cross the crevasse, the climber gets a running start and jumps in the horizontal direction. If the height of the crevasse increases but the width remains the same, then,

Select one:

O a. the minimum speed needed to cross the crevasse stays the same.

O b. the minimum speed needed to cross the crevasse will depend on the mass of the mountain climber.

O c. the minimum speed needed to cross the crevasse decreases.

O d. the minimum speed needed to cross the crevasse increases.

O e. the minimum speed needed to cross the crevasse will depend on the weight of the mountain climber.​
