Best Answer

The climb increases the strain through the gravitational pull backwards - strain requires more energy - energy means more RPM (revs per minute) which means the engine works harder. Water and Air act as the coolants to compensate for the increased work so: Check Water Levels, Oil Levels and ensure that the Radiator Cooling Fan works.... You may also need to drop-down / shift to a lower gear.

What is difference between simple hill climbing and steepest Ascent hill climbing in artificial Intelligence?

simple hill climbing uses evaluation function i.e evaluation of goal state & finding of better state, these 2 things can be done through heuristic knowledge, where as steepest ascent hill climbing have three major problem states i.e. local maximum, palteau & ridge which can be overcome by backtrack, jump, move several direction @ same time respectively & according to me steepest ascent hill climbing is extend version of simple hill climbing. if my whole concept is wrong let me know.
