When converting from a smaller to a larger unit of measurement, you move the to the right. a. second number b. ratio c. exponent d. decimal point

The correct answer is D. decimal point.

Explanation:

The question is wrong. It should be :

When converting from a smaller to a larger unit of measurement, you move the _______ to the left.

In order to convert from a smaller to a larger unit of measurement what we need to move is the decimal point to the left. Let's see an example :

We have the two following units

'''' which is grams and '''' which is kilograms.  

We know that the grams are a smaller unit of measurement that kilograms.

We also know the relationship :

For example if we want to convert to kilograms :

What we have done is that we divided the number ''1500'' by ''1000''.

This is equal to move the decimal point three places to the left ⇒

The correct answer is D. decimal point

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
