Gravitational potential energy = m * g* h

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential is referred as the energy spent to move the mass from one point to another. It is represented in the unit as Joules per kilogram.  

Gravitational potential energy = m * g * h where m denotes the mass of the object, g denotes the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m / s 2, and h denotes the height in meters.

The equation for gravitational potential energy is GPE = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 on Earth), and h is the height above the ground in meters.

The total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy. It is easier to solve for the potential energy in this case because we are given with the position of the apple. 
                               PE = mgh
Substituting the mass, acceleration due to gravity and the height,
                              PE = (0.1 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(1 m) = 0.98 J
Then, we solve for the velocity at that point. The distance it had traveled is 0.5 meters.
                                      d = v²/g ;    0.5 = v²/9.8 m/s²
                                                       v = 2.213 m/s
Then, solving for KE
                                                KE = 0.5mv²
Substituting,
                                                KE = 0.5(0.1 kg)(2.213 m/s)² = 0.245 J
Adding the two mechanical forces will give us an answer of 1.225 J. Thus, the answer is the first choice.

Resistor x has the same thickness​
elixir [45]

Resistor X is the same material and thickness as resistor Y, but it is twice as long. The resistance of resistor X is double that of resistor Y.Option 2 is correct.

<h3>What is resistance?</h3>

Resistance is a type of opposition force due to which the flow of current is reduced in the material or wire. Resistance is the enemy of the flow of current.

The relation of the resistance with the length and thickness is;

\rm R= \rho\frac{L}{A}

For the given case;

\rm R'=\rho \frac{2L}{A} \\\\  R'=2R

Resistor X has the same thickness and is made of the same material as resistor Y but has twice the length. Resistor X has twice the resistance of resistor Y.

Hence,option 2 is correct.

To learn more about the resistance refer to the link;
