Answer:
B. - 0.328
Explanation
Potential Energy:<em> This is the energy of a body due to position.</em>
<em>The S.I unit of potential energy is Joules (J).</em>
<em>It can be expressed mathematically as</em>
<em>Ep = mgh........................... Equation 1</em>
<em>Where Ep = potential energy, m = mass of the coin, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity,</em>
<em>Given: m = 2.74 g = 0.00274 kg, h = 12.2 m, g = 9.8 m/s²</em>
Substituting these values into equation 1
Ep = 0.00274×12.2×9.8
Ep = 0.328 J.
Note: Since the potential energy at the surface is zero, the potential Energy with respect to the surface = -0.328 J
The right option is B. - 0.328

Answer: Scientists found evidence of Earths magnetic field reversal in rocks on the ocean floor at plate boundaries. These rocks have alternating polarity due to magnetization that occurred during their cooling period. Using radio metric dating, scientist estimate that reversals occur approximately every several hundred thousand years.
