The height of the liquid column is 4.08 metres.
I think the gravity doesn't affect the mass of an object. Only it's weight can be compared
Answer:
A) some of the rocks energy is transformed to thermal energy
Explanation:
If we neglect air resistance during the fall of the rock, than the mechanical energy of the rock (which is sum of its potential energy and its kinetic energy) would be constant during the entire motion, so the total energy of the rock at the top would be the same as the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy at the bottom.
However, this not occurs, due to the presence of air resistance. In fact, air resistance acts against the fall of the rock, and because of the friction between the molecules of air and the surface of the rock, the rock loses part of its energy. This energy is converted into thermal energy of the molecules of the air.
