<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which  <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g the acceleration due gravity and h the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of U_{p} is directly proportional to the height.

Experiment 1: A study is done to determine which of two fuel mixtures allows a rocket to travel farther over a period of time. R
leva [86]

Answer: D

Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.

This is the answer to the question because:

  • Both experiments do have a confounding variable.
  • Experiment 1 doesn't have to stay constant.
  • A double-blind experiment will not do anything to the placebo.
  • High blood pressure people will not make the results confusing.

The answer has to be the option D. Hope this helps you!

: In heavy rushIn heavy rush-hour traffic you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 minutes, then you have to stop for 3.5
zhuklara [117]
Guessing you want the average speed. We can multiple each speed by the time we spent going that speed, and them all together and then divide by the total time we spent in traffic to get the average speed. We spent a total of 7.5 minutes in traffic, so average speed  = (12*1.5+0*3.5+15*2.5)/7.5 = 7.4 m/s

. A student thinks that the more protons an atom has, the more reactive it will be. Which will best disprove this student's idea
shepuryov [24]
The best answer to the question that is being stated above would be the first choice. To disprove the claims of the student that you need more protons to have more reactivity, then you proceed to compare the reactivities of lithium (Li) and krypton (Kr). Krypton has more protons than Lithium, but it is less reactive because it is a noble gas.
