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

11. (a)What downward force is acting on you when you go down a waterslide? (b)What type of friction is
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

a) "gravitation" is the force causing you to go down a waterslide

b) It is "fluid friction" as a solid object (our body) moves over a fluid (the water)

c) It would become "sliding friction" since two solid surfaces slide over each other

d) fluid friction being the weakest friction, switching to sliding friction means a higher decrease in speed and therefore removing the water from a slide will decrease our speed
