A brick is dropped from rest from the top of a building through air (air resistance is present) to the ground below. how does th

e brick's kinetic energy just before reaching the ground compare with the gravitational potential energy at the top of the building? set zero height at the ground level. the comparison cannot be made since the information of air resistance is not given. kinetic energy just before reaching the ground < gravitational potential energy at the top of the building kinetic energy just before reaching the ground = gravitational potential energy at the top of the building kinetic energy just before reaching the ground > gravitational potential energy at the top of the building

The correct option is this: KINETIC ENERGY JUST BEFORE REACHING THE GROUND IS LESS THAN THE GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY AT THE TOP OF THE BUILDING.
When the object was on the top of the building, it has potential energy. This potential energy was converted to kinetic energy when the object started falling. In the process of falling, friction was present, which means that some of the energy will be converted to heat as a result of the friction. Therefore the kinetic energy of the falling object will be less than its potential energy, because some of the energy has been spent on friction.<span />

How much energy (in kilojoules) is required to convert 200 mL of diethyl ether at its boiling point from liquid to vapor if its
LiRa [457]

Answer:

55.96kJ

Explanation:

Energy = mass of diethyl ether × enthalpy of vaporization of diethyl ether

Volume (v) = 200mL, density (d) = 0.7138g/mL

Mass = d × v = 0.7138 × 200 = 142.76g

Enthalpy of vaporization of diethyl ether = 29kJ/mol

MW of diethyl ether (C2H5)2O = 74g/mol

Enthalpy in kJ/g = 29kJ/mol ÷ 74g/mol = 0.392kJ/g

Energy = 142.76g × 0.392kJ/g = 55.96kJ

What is the equation for determining the value of a specific gas constant using the universal gas constants
maria [59]

Answer:

Physically, the gas constant is the constant of proportionality that relates the energy scale in physics to the temperature scale, when a mole of particles at the stated temperature is being considered. Thus, the value of the gas constant ultimately derives from historical decisions and accidents in the setting of the energy and temperature scales, plus similar historical setting of the value of the molar scale used for the counting of particles.
