When the mass of the cylinder increased by a factor of 3, from 1.0 kg to 3.0 kg, what happened to the cylinder’s gravitational potential energy? it decreased by a factor of 3. it decreased by a factor of 2. it increased by a factor of 2. it increased by a factor of 3.

Fourth option. It increased by a factor of 3.

Solution:

m1=1.0 kg

Cylinder's gravitational potential energy: Ep=m*g*h

Ep1=(1.0 kg)*g*h

Ep1=g*h

m2=3.0 kg

Ep2=(3.0 kg)*g*h

Ep2=3*g*h

Replacing g*h by Ep1 in the equation above:

Ep2=3*Ep1

Then, the cylinder's gravitational potential energy increased by a factor of 3.

The answer is D

answer: d. a cme increases the amount of energy in the solar wind

explanation:

coronal mass ejections, also called cmes, are large clouds of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. only when the cloud is aimed at earth will the cme hit earth and therefore cause impacts. high-speed solar wind streams come from areas on the sun known as coronal holes.
