Step 1
The gravitational potential energy is given by the formula: \[ U = mgh \] where \( m \) is the mass of the object, \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \( h \) is the height above the ground. Show more…

15. A stone is held at a height h above the ground. A second stone with four times the mass of the first one is held at the same height. The gravitational potential energy of the first stone compared to that of the second stone is A) one-fourth as much. B) one-half as much. C) twice as much. D) four times as much. E) the same. 16. A small child slides down the four frictionless slides A-D. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, her speeds at the bottom. A. v_D > v_A > v_B > v_C B. v_D > v_A = v_B > v_C C. v_C > v_A > v_B > v_D D. v_A = v_B = v_C = v_D 17. The restoring force of three springs is measured as they are stretched. Which spring has the largest spring constant?
