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

N76 [4]

Answer:

After Christopher Columbus reached the shores of a new continent he was convinced that he reached shores of India. But many explorers doubt this. Among them was Amerigo Vespucci. He was convinced that Columbus reached a new continent, unknown to Europeans, not India. Therefore he traveled on his own across Atlantic Ocean in 1497. He reached the shores of todays Brazil. He realized that he reached the shores of a territory unknown to Europeans, which he named New World. In respect to Vespucci's achievement the whole continent was named after him - America.

Whose presence was considered “a must” in order to get a national convention to create a new government
Liono4ka [1.6K]

I believe the answer is: Congress/legislators

In order to create a new government, a society need to establish a body that had the authorization to create regulation that must be followed by its people. Because of this, the existence of congress (which filled with all delegates from states) are necessary so each states could be represented during the law making process.
