Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The energy of possessed by the body by virtue its position is called potential energy. This energy is converted in the form of heat.
The formula of potential energy is given by
P.E. = m g h
where, m is the mass of body, h be the height of body and g be the acceleration due to gravity.
The potential energy of the body when it is at a height of 100 m is
P = m x g x 100 = 100 mg
The potential energy of the body when it is at a height of 1000 m is
P' = m x g x 1000 = 1000 mg
The ratio of P' and P is 10.
So, the heat generated is 10 times.
