4 0

Explanation:

Based on the references, the calculated potential energy is the same if the reference used is the same or different.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

It is the energy at rest in body.

The change in potential energy is given as:

    ΔE  = E₂ - E₁

E₂ is the final potential energy and E₁ is the initial potential energy.

Since when the body comes to rest after falling through a height, the final potential energy is 0.

The change in potential energy does not depend on the reference.

Compare the foot of mollusks with the tube feet of echinoderms.
stira [4]

Mollusks live in fresh water, in marine environment, but also on land.

<span>Echinoderms live only in water. This is the reason why they have developed different systems for moving. Mollusks have only singular muskullus foot for walking and Echinoderms have tube feet which they use for moving, as well for collecting and transporting food to their mouth. </span>

Molodets [167]

Answer:

4x

Explanation:

Use v^{2} = u^{2} +2as to do the question.

For first instance,

0 = v^{2} +2ax -------------------( 1 )

for second instance,

0 = (2v)^{2} +2as-----------------( 2 )

So by (1) and (2),

s = 4x
