The potential energy of the ball is 8 J.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

Mechanical energy is given as the energy possessed by an object to do work. It is given as the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy.

Mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

The given ball has:

Mechanical energy = 25 J
Kinetic energy = 17 J

The potential energy is given as;

25 J = 17 J + Potential energy

Potential energy = 25 J - 17 J

Potential energy = 8 J

The potential energy of the ball is 8 J.

Compound 2 contains 2.0g of hydrogen and 32.0g oxygen. What is the percent compound of each element?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Note down the formula below

$\boxed{\sf Mass\%\;of\; element=\dfrac{Mass\:of\:the\: element}{Mass\;of\:the\: compound}\times 100}$

Mass of the compound

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 32+2=34g$

Mass % of Hydrogen:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{2}{34}\times 100$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{1}{17}\times 100$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 5.8\%$

Mass % of Oxygen:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{32}{34}\times 100$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{16}{17}\times 100$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 94.2\%$
