What happens after sound waves reach the ear drum? A. The mechanical energy of the sound is turned into electrochemical energy of the nerve.
B. They are converted to mechanical waves that travel through the bones of the middle ear.
C. They are detected by the auditory nerve, which sends information about the sound to the brain.
D. The fluid in the cochlea moves back and forth, disrupting the hair cells in the ear.

potential energy is directly proportional to height.

more height = more potential energy.

greatest increase in height = greatest increase in potential energy

where are the points with the greatest increase in height ?

has to be c-e or d-e .

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
