<h2>The gravitational potential energy is double for stone with twice the mass of other stone.</h2>
Explanation:
Let mass of stone 1 be m.
Mass of stone 2 is twice the mass of stone 1.
Mass of stone 2 = 2m
We know that
Gravitational potential energy = Mass x acceleration due to gravity x Height
PE = mgh
For stone 1 ,
PE₁ = mgh
For stone 2 ,
PE₂ = 2mgh = 2 PE₁
So the gravitational potential energy is double for stone with twice the mass of other stone.
Because if weight is being applied to an object, the object will have some sort of effect to counter react due to the weights primary objective.
As per the third law of Newton, the force exerted by the boat over the student is equal in magnitude to the force that the student exerted on the boat.
So, calculate the force on the student using the second law of Newton, Force = mass * acceleration.
Force on the student = 60 kg * 2.0 m/s^2 = 120 N.
=> horizontal force exerted by the student on the boat = 120 N
Answer: option d. 120 N. toward the back of the boat.
Of course it is toward the back because that is where the student jumped from..
Cuz Of Newton’s third law, every actions there is an equal and opposite reaction.
