Gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula:
Where:
PEgrav = Gravitational potential energy
m= mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height
On Earth acceleration due to gravity is a constant 9.8 but since the scenario is on Mars, the pull of gravity is different. In this case, it is 3.7, so we will use that for g.
So put in what you know and solve for what you don't know.
m = 10kg
g = 3.7m/s^2
h = 1m
So we put that in and solve it.

Answer:
c. 2.7 m/s
Explanation:
The speed of the object increases
Explanation:
We can answer this question by applying the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. Mathematically:
where
W is the work done on the object
are the final and initial kinetic energy of the object, respectively
m is the mass of the object
v is its final speed
u is its initial speed
In this case, the force does a positive amount of work on the object, so
This also implies that
And so
And therefore
which means that the speed of the object increases.
