Answer:
The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J
Explanation:
Conceptual analysis
Potential Energy (U) is the energy of a body located at a certain height (h) above the ground and is calculated as follows:
U = m × g × h
U: Potential Energy in Joules (J)
m: mass in kg
g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²
h: height in m
Equivalences
1 kg = 1000 g
1 ft = 0.3048 m
1 N = 1 (kg×m)/s²
1 J = N × m
Known data




Problem development
ΔU: Potential energy change
ΔU = U₂ - U₁
U₂ - U₁ = mₓgₓh₂ - mₓgₓh₁
U₂ - U₁ = mₓg(h₂ - h₁)

The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J

Answer:
force becomes one - ninth
Explanation:
According to Coulomb's law in electrostatics, two charges can exert a force of attraction or repulsion on each other which is directly proportional to the product of two charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.
Here both the charges remains same but the distance is variable.
So, we can say that
.... (1)
Where d be the distance between the tow charges
As the distance between two charges increases by factor of three, let the new force be F'.
.... (2)
Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get


Thus, the force becomes one - ninth times the initial force.
I'm not that smart but I think it is c I really hope It helps
