On June 14, 2008, three friends took a trip
to Kota Kinabalu to climb up Mount Kinabalu.
They were very excited. They took a bus at
12.00 midnight from Bayan Baru, Penang to the
bus terminal in Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur. The
distance from Bayan Baru to the bus terminal in
Jalan Duta is 450 km. They arrived at Kuala
Lumpur at 5.00 am on June 15, 2008. From the
bus terminal Jalan Duta, they took a taxi to
KLIA. They journey of 60 km took 45 minutes
and cost them RM 80.
The flight to Kota Kinabalu was fast as the
aeroplane flew with an average speed of 600
km/h and the flight took only 2 hours 30
minutes.
The next day they hiked up the Mersilau
trail which about 6 km long to Laban Rata, the
base station for Mount Kinabalu. Laban Rata is
about 3 000 m above sea level.
In the early hours of the next day, they
began their hike to the peak which is 4 095 m
above sea level. That morning the wind was
blowing with a velocity of 10 ms-1 and the
a) From the passage, identify the physical quantities and then classify
