Answer:
<em>Correct choice: b 4H</em>
Explanation:
<u>Conservation of the mechanical energy</u>
The mechanical energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy GPE (U) and the kinetic energy KE (K):
E = U + K
The GPE is calculated as:
U = mgh
And the kinetic energy is:
Where:
m = mass of the object
g = gravitational acceleration
h = height of the object
v = speed at which the object moves
When the snowball is dropped from a height H, it has zero speed and therefore zero kinetic energy, thus the mechanical energy is:
When the snowball reaches the ground, the height is zero and the GPE is also zero, thus the mechanical energy is:
Since the energy is conserved, U1=U2
![\displaystyle mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \qquad\qquad [1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20mgH%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dmv%5E2%20%20%20%20%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%5B1%5D)
For the speed to be double, we need to drop the snowball from a height H', and:
Operating:
![\displaystyle mgH'=4\frac{1}{2}m(v)^2 \qquad\qquad [2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20mgH%27%3D4%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dm%28v%29%5E2%20%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%5B2%5D)
Dividing [2] by [1]
Simplifying:
Thus:
H' = 4H
Correct choice: b 4H

This brightly colored fish is native to the Indo-Pacific from Australia north to southern Japan and south to Micronesia. The lionfish is usually found in coral reefs of tropical waters, hovering in caves or near crevices. Native regions as well as Savannah, Georgia; Palm Beach and Boca Raton, Florida; Long Island, New York; Bermuda and possibly Charleston. In southern Florida and off the coast of the Carolinas in early to mid 1990s.

a) El Niño is defined as an abnormal weather pattern caused by the warming of the Pacific Ocean near the equator, off the coast of South America. The sun warms the water near the equator, which can make more clouds and, therefore, more rain. It has detrimental effects on biodiversity leading to its large-scale loss by
warmer sea temperatures leading to plankton and fish kills in coastal waters
lower sea levels leading to exposure of underwater coral reefs, causing their loss.
I believe d all of the above
