Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Let the potential energy of rock A be represented as Pa

And the potential energy of rock B be represented as Pb

Pa = ma * g * h

Pb = mb * g*h

ma = 2 * mb

Thus, Pa = 2 mb * g*h

Pa/Pb = 2 mb * g*h/mb * g*h

Pa/Pb = 2

Pa = 2 * Pb

The energy pf rock A is two times the energy of rock B.

OR

Pb = Pa/2

Hence, option C is correct

Which statement best represents Roger Sherman’s argument in favor of equal representation in the Senate?
Arisa [49]

Answer: Small states are easier to manage politically, while large states are more likely to be corrupt.

Explanation:

During the Constitutional Convention of 1787, large states claimed to deserve more of a voice due to their larger populations, so they demanded congressional representation to be based on population.

Smaller states, fearing being ignored if that happened, wanted equal representation.

Roger Sherman, based on the idea of small states being easier to be handle politically, and large states being more prone to corruption, proposed the Connecticut Compromise with Oliver Ellsworth, which granted equal representation in the Senate and representation by population in the House, in a bicameral system that provided a balance of power.
