Gravitational potential energy can be given by the equation
PE = mgh
where m is the mass,
g is the gravitational constant 9.81 or 10 depending on rounding
and h is the height
well weight is a force equiavlent to
W= m*g
so comparing that to the potential energy equation, divide the potential energy by the height and you will get weight in Newtons
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Scientific theories summarize patterns found in nature. Although, the statement scientific theories are never proven is somewhat true. They are either disproved or they are never disproved. Hope this answers the question.
