Answer:
a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.
Explanation:
Let be X the point where a ball rests at the top of a hill. By applying the Principle of Energy Conservation, the total energy in the physical system remains constant and gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill is equal to the sum of kinetic energy, a lower gravitational energy and dissipated work due to nonconservative forces (friction, dragging).
Conclusions are showed as follows:
a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.
b) The kinetic energy is the lowest at X and Z.
c) Total energy remains constant as the ball moves from X to Y.
Hence, the correct answer is A.

The potential difference across a and b is 15 v. determine the electrical charge on the 3 μf capacitor will be 45 * C
Capacitance, property of an electric conductor, or set of conductors, that is measured by the amount of separated electric charge that can be stored on it per unit change in electrical potential. Capacitance also implies an associated storage of electrical energy.
Charge (Q) stored in a capacitor is the product of its capacitance (C) and the voltage (V) applied to it. The capacitance of a capacitor should always be a constant, known value. So we can adjust voltage to increase or decrease the cap's charge. More voltage means more charge, less voltage... less charge.
charge = capacitance * voltage
Q = CV
= 3 * * 15 v
= 45 * C
