<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Hello, </em>

<h3><u>QUESTION)</u></h3>

<em>✔ We have: KE = PE (potential energy) </em>

<em>PE = m x g x h </em>

The potential energy that the pebble of mass 1 has is called PE1 and the potential energy that the pebble of mass 2 has is called PE2  

PE1 = PE2 ⇔ PE1/PE2 = 1

\frac{m_1\times g\times h}{m_2\times g\times 4h} = 1 \\ \\  \frac{m_1}{m_2\times 4} = 1 \\ \\  \frac{m_1}{m_2} = 4

The mass m1 is therefore 4 times greater than that of the stone of mass m2.

How do mass and force affect the acceleration of an object?
joja [24]

Gravity affects weight, it does not affect mass. Masses always remain the same. Newton's Second Law of Motion: Force = mass x acceleration The acceleration of an object is: a) directly proportional to the net force acting on the object. ... c) inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

How many protons are in this atom if it has a balanced charge? 0 2 4 6
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

For an atom to have a balanced charged, the number of protons shall be equal to the number of electrons of an atom. proton is the positive part of an atom whereas electrons are the negative part of an atom. Only if the number of protons will be equal to the number of electron, the atom will be able to be neutral.

If the number of electron will be more, then the atom will be negative. If the number of electron will be less, then the atom will be positive.

Minority group
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Minority group - People who are singled  out for unequal treatment  and who regard  themselves as objects of  collective discrimination.

Ethnicity - A shared identity based on  cultural elements such as  heritage, language, and  religion.

Majority group - A group's subset that  consists of more than half  of the entire group's  members.

Race - A socially constructed  group of people who share  physical characteristics  that are considered  significant by a society  and that are used to  distinguish them from  other groups.

Explanation:

To better understand the above-mentioned definitions we would use some examples:

Elder people can be considered as a minority group in the United States because of their reduced status as a consequence of popular discrimination and prejudice against them. In contrast to them, young men consisting of more than half the population in the age category is an example of the majority group.

Groups of people like Hispanic Americans, Jews, Italian America, Irish are some examples of people belonging to different ethnic backgrounds residing in the U.S.

African Americans who are distinguished based on their skin color is an example of race.
