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.

Respuesta :

Answer: 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.
