The heavier the object and the higher it is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it holds. Gravitational potential energy increases as weight and height increases.

When an item is raised, the work is done in opposition to gravity. When an item is worked on, energy is transmitted to it, and it develops gravitational potential energy. If the same thing falls from that height, gravity must do the same amount of effort to bring it back to the Earth's surface.

svet-max [94.6K]

a) Solids keep shape, liquids take shape of containers but don't spill, gases take container's shape and spill out

b) if you heat gas, speed of its molecules will increase and they'll push the container's walls stronger, so the pressure will increase when the container heated

c) Heat flows from warmer to colder bodies

d) For monatomic gases it's U=1.5nRT only, molecular gas has bonds between atoms so total internal energy increases

e) Of gases

f) v=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}=321 m/s

g) U=5/2*nRT=37830.85 J

Why is the curve between 1950 and 1980 relatively flat and centered around zero degrees difference from the baseline? (Hint: how
zimovet [89]

Look at the title of the graph, in small print under it.

Each point is "compared to 1950-1980 baseline". So the set of data for those years is being compared to itself. No wonder it matches up pretty close !
