Answer:

K = -½U

Explanation:

From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;

U = -GMm/R

Where,

G is gravitational constant

M and m are the two masses exerting the forces

R is the distance between the two objects

Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;

K = GMm/2R

Re-rranging, we have;

K = ½(GMm/R)

Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;

K = -½U

scZoUnD [109]
<span>Generally speaking, the level of molecular motion is highest in gases, where molecules move around freely in space, bouncing off of each other, and lowest in solids, where molecules are bound together in a rigid structure. As such, the answer would be A; "the molecules in air move more than the molecules in wood".</span>
