Aburning candle is covered by a jar as shown in the picture. the whole arrangement has a mass of 500 g. what will be the approximate mass of the arrangement when the candle is completely burnt, after four minutes? a) 0 g b) 50 g c) 250 g d) 500 g

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 .

acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (20-120)= -100 m/s.

1.5 min = 90 sec

acceleration = -100/90 = -1.11 m/s^2.

we don't care about the 150kg or the 2,500 meters. they don't make any difference.
