Answer: now take this with a grain of salt because I'm in middle school but I think that the more massive object has more potential energy.
Explanation:
The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.
<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>
This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)
The formula for change in potential energy.
<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>
- ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1
<h3>Where:</h3>
- ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
- m = mass of the cat
- g = acceleration due to gravity
- H = First height
- h = second height.
From the question,
<h3>Given:</h3>
- m = 15 kg
- H = 2.5 m
- h = 1.3 m
- g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 1
- ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
- ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
- ΔP.E = 176.4 J.
Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J

The kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.
To find the answer, we have to know about the Lorentz transformation.
<h3>What is its kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame?</h3>
It is given that, an alien spaceship traveling at 0.600 c toward the Earth, in the same direction the landing craft travels with a speed of 0.800 c relative to the mother ship. We have to find the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame, if the landing craft has a mass of 4.00 × 10⁵ kg.

- Let us consider the earth as S frame and space craft as S' frame, then the expression for KE will be,

- So, to
find the KE, we have to find the value of speed of the approaching landing craft with respect to the earth frame. - We have an expression from Lorents transformation for relativistic law of addition of velocities as,

- Substituting values, we get,


Thus, we can conclude that, the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.
