When you drop a pebble from height h, it reaches the ground with kinetic energy k if there is no air resistance. from what heigh

t should you drop it so it will reach the ground with twice as much kinetic energy?

-- The kinetic energy it has when it hits the ground is exactly
the potential energy it had just before you dropped it.

-- So if you want it to have twice as much kinetic energy at the bottom,
you want it to have twice as much potential energy at the top.

-- Potential energy = (mass)·(gravity)·(height).
The only one of those things that you can change is the height.

Looking at that equation, you can see that if you change the height,
the potential energy changes by the same factor.

So if you want the pebble to have twice as much potential energy,
you have to drop it from twice the original height.  (2h)

Which of the following is a common source of groundwater pollution?
kap26 [50]
One of the common source is C. <span>Spraying crop fields with pesticides
After spraying the crops with pesticides, the waste will fall and absorbed by the ground.
This will contaminate all substance that exists (nutrients that needed by the plants)  in that ground and make that area became toxic for years.</span>

As a moon follows its orbit around a planet, the maximum grav- itational force exerted on the moon by the planet exceeds the min
Mars2501 [29]
The gravitational force exerted on the moon by the planet when the moon is at maximum distance r_{max} is
F_{min}=G \frac{Mm}{r_{max}^2}
where G is the gravitational constant, M and m are the planet and moon masses, respectively. This is the minimum force, because the planet and the moon are at maximum distance.

Similary, the gravitational force at minimum distance is
F_{max}=G \frac{Mm}{r_{min}^2}
And this is the maximum force, since the distance between planet and moon is minimum.

The problem says that F_{max} exceeds F_{min} by 11%. We can rewrite this as
F_{max}=(1+0.11)F_{min}=1.11 F_{min}

Substituing the formulas of Fmin and Fmax, this equation translates into
\frac{1}{r_{min}^2}=1.11  \frac{1}{r_{max}^2}
and so, the ratio between the maximum and the minimum distance is
\frac{r_{max}}{r_{min}}= \sqrt{ 1.11 }=1.05
