Potential energy is defined by formula

U = mgh

here

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Now here two different stones are located at same height

while mass of stone A is twice that of stone B

so here we can say potential energy of A is

U_a = (2m)gh

Similarly potential energy of B is

U_b = mgh

now if we take the ratio of two energy

\frac{U_a}{U_b} = 2

so we can say potential energy of stone A is two times the potential energy of B

under what conditions would a scale record a weight for an object which is equal to the magnitude of the gravitational force on
d1i1m1o1n [39]
In a non accelerated frame, also called inertial frame, when no additional forces are acting upon the body.

For instance, a scale in free fall will not record the weight, but zero, like the astronauts. But also, if someone is pulling the object or pushing it, the scale will record some other value.

What is weight vs mass
Ray Of Light [21]
Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object, while mass is the measurement of the amount of matter that an object contains.

Change the following as indicated in the brackets.<br> 8m (km,cm)​
Jet001 [13]

metres to kilometres = 1/1000

8 m ⇒ 0.008 km

metres to centimetres = × 100

8 m ⇒ 800 cm

The distance, in feet, a moving object has traveled after t seconds is given by 2t/(4 + t). find the acceleration of the object
lianna [129]
Hi! Let me help you!
a = (Vf - Vi)/t ; where distance d = [2(t)]/(4+t), t = 5secs, and Vi = 0 
a = [(2t)/(4+t)]/t <---- working equation
a = {[2(5)]/9}/5 <---- cancel 5
a = 2/9 ft/s^2 <---- Answer
