Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Let the potential energy of rock A be represented as Pa

And the potential energy of rock B be represented as Pb

Pa = ma * g * h

Pb = mb * g*h

ma = 2 * mb

Thus, Pa = 2 mb * g*h

Pa/Pb = 2 mb * g*h/mb * g*h

Pa/Pb = 2

Pa = 2 * Pb

The energy pf rock A is two times the energy of rock B.

OR

Pb = Pa/2

Hence, option C is correct

Zhu Di killed and executed his 3 older brothers and uncles when the eldest brother, Zhu Bio, was crowned king, because of this, his nephew became next in line for the crown because the royal advisor decided Zhu Di was not capable of handling the power of the thrown. in 1402 Zhu Di successfully overthrew his nephew and became king. He then overthrew the emperor of najing, therefore becoming emperor of both the Ming Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty, earning him the name of Yongle, which means "perpetual Happiness".

"The money functions as a reinforcer for getting a CD.  The CD's function as a reinforcer for donating money.  The money functions as a reward for getting a CD.  The CD's function as a reward for donating money."

Answer:

The CD's function as a reward for donating money.

Explanation:

As seen in the question above, Rádio Pública Nacional participates in a campaign that seeks to raise funds to maintain its radio stations.

As we know today, radio stations do not have as many listeners as before, this is because of our busy way of life and the technologies that have made radio something absolute in some ways. For this reason, the National Public Radio looked for a way to reward those people who help it, for this reason, it offers a CD to each person who makes a donation, as a reward for their generosity.
