Two identical 1 kg rocks are held 1 m above the surface of the Earth (g = 10 m/s2) and moon (g = 1.6 m/s2) . Just as they are released, which rock has more potential energy? A.
The rock on the Earth has more potential energy because it is farther from the center of the Earth than the rock on the moon is from the center of the moon.

B.
The rock on the Earth has more potential energy because the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is greater than the acceleration due to gravity on the moon.

C. They have the same potential energy because they are the same height off the ground.

D. They have the same potential energy because they have the same mass.

Assume you measured the mass of the cart to be (500 ± 1) g and the mass of the additional mass you put on the cart to be (500 ± 1) g as well. since the scale you are using in the lab cannot measure objects heavier than 600g you will have to sum up individual pieces and propagate the error. so what would be the mass and the standard error of the cart and the mass
