Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:
1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:
2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.
Does that help?
Due to attraction ... of opposite charges
Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 
Explanation:
the gravitational potential energy is given by:
The kinetic energy is given by:
the initial kinetic energy is zero because the motion started from rest, so:
applying the conservation of energy theorem:
The work done by the friction force is given by:
the angle of the force is 180 degrees because it's against the movement:
Forces are exerted I believe : all of the above
The action force might be Tyler throwing the ball
I don't know the last one
The solution for the problem is:
1 Watt = 1 Joule per second
1 Watt*second = 1 Joule
a Kilowatt is 1,000 Watts
an hour is 60 seconds times 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds
a Kilowatt * hour is 1,000 Watts in 3,600 seconds
15 W*h = 15,000 Watt*hour = 15,000 Watt * 3,600 seconds = 54,000,000
Watt*second
54,000,000 Watt*second = ? Joules
54,000,000 Joules / second = 54,000,000 Watts
