Answer:

The last graph.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at a given height from the Earth's surface.

The formula to find the gravitational potential energy is given as:

U=mgh

Where, 'U' is the gravitational potential energy.

'm' is the mass of the body.

'g' is the acceleration of the body due to gravity.

'h' is the height of the body above the Earth's surface.

So, from the above equation, it is clear that, gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height. So, as height increases, the gravitational potential energy increases. At the surface of Earth, where, height is 0, the gravitational potential energy is also zero.

Therefore, the correct graph is a straight line with positive slope and passing through the origin. So, the last option is the correct one.

A base that only partly ionizes in a solution is a ____ base.
marysya [2.9K]
<em />If it only partly ionizes in a solution, that means it is a weak base. It is not strong enough to fully ionize.
