Two stones, one with twice the mass of the other, are thrown straight up and rise to the same height h. Compare their changes in gravitational potential energy (choose one): (a) They rise to the same height, so the stone with twice the mass has twice the change in gravitational potential energy. (b) They rise to the same height, so they have the same change in gravitational potential energy. (c) The answer depends on their speed at height h.

Two identical balls are thrown directly upward, boll A at speed v and boll B at speed 2v. and they feel no air resistance. Which statement about these balls is correct?

A) Ball B will go twice as high as ball A because it had twice the initial speed.

B) Ball B will go four times as high as ball A because it had four times the initial kinetic energy.

C) The balls will reach the same height because they have the same mass and the same acceleration.

D) At its highest point, ball B will have twice as much gravitational potential energy as ball A because it started out moving twice as fast.

E) At their highest point, the acceleration of each ball is instantaneously equal to zero because they stop for an instant

Two masses m1 and m2 are connected by a cord that passes over a pulley as shown in the figure. They start at the same height, and the hanging block is lowered through a distance h, causing the block on the incline to rise. Calculate the change in the gravitational potential energy for each of the blocks.

This question was part of my worksheet and I amcompletelyclueless as to how i should even begin solving it:
1. Two books, initially on the floor, are picked up andplacedon a shelf 2.0 meters off the floor. One has a mass of 1.0 kgandthe other has a mass of 2.0 kg. The gravitational filedstrengthnear the surface of Earth is approximately 10 n/kg.
a. Calculate the gravitational forceactingon each book as it rests on the shelf. What factors determinethesize of this force?
b. calculate the change in eachbooksgravitational potential energy as a result of being picked upoffthe floor and placed on the shelf. what factors determine thesizeof this change?
c. what is the difference ingravitationalpotential between the floor and the shelf? whatfactors determinethe size of this difference?
d. how does gravitational potentialdifferfrom gravitational potential energy?
